This video installation situates the viewer within an urban streetscape (Palermo) dominated by towering buildings. These structures carry the marks of time—shaped across different eras—and the traces of its passage, visible in their varying states of decay.
Subtly animated, the buildings pulse with faint movement, appearing as dark silhouettes against the onset of night. Within their forms reside traces of lived experience: accumulated emotions, memories, and thoughts. In their aggregation, small, everyday details give rise to monumental forms that ascend against the sky.
