ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Nicola Fornoni (Brescia, Italy, 1990). Although suffering from severe Scleroderma since 2001, he incessantly produces performance works, live and for video, which are captivating for their symbolic imagery and visual impact.

His poetics stems from a committed, sincere quest for connectivity and clusters themes of otherness, respect, union, inclusiveness and accessibility. His oeuvre results from a thoughtful process to counteract biases and stigmatisation about differences – real or imagined – presented as a negation of identity and, thus, a motive for potential discrimination.

THE BEGINNING (LIGHT)

"A feather is very light, but when there are many, it is complicated to move them just by breathing. 3 is the perfect number—a symbol of vitality. I blow on 3 kg of white feathers and invite you to join me. Our breaths will meet between order and disorder, help and obstacle." - Nicola Fornoni

NOWHERE

An abandoned NATO base built during the Cold War on a mountain pass linking three valleys to each other in north Italy. Old business lines, passageways and other morphological peculiarities. Sound waves, cymbal vibrations and fake animal puppies mark an imaginary sense of the time passing.
