«If fire goes beyond what photography can capture, then the black ashes of eternity become extraordinarily meaningful. If it is impossible to photograph rain, we can still depict the dark, wet earth after the storm. Thus, if an image cannot capture the fires of meaning, it can still depict the ashes of significance.»

 

 

Les feux du sens, les cendres de la signification, "The fires of meaning, the ashes of significance" is a visual narration exploring spirituality, landscape, and symbols.

The artist invites us to join her on a walk through her native village in rural, religiously inflected northeastern Italy, and to consider the moving image as a way of inhabiting the ordinary while perceiving the extraordinary.

If systems of belief actively shape how we perceive a territory, then the frames of this analog reel — presented from beginning to end without editing or manipulation — guide us step by step toward an intuition of the spiritual dimension that lies between nature and culture.

When a geography is witnessed through the artist’s presence, its very affirmation reveals it as the result of lived human experience. The significance of a place then begins to emerge — not only through its visible form, but through the shared resonance between inner and outer worlds.
