Interno
Project statement

Men are, thus, fundamentally and exclusively, the creatures of their own interior. They thrive only in the greenhouse of their autogenous atmosphere.
(Peter Sloterdijk, Spheres I, Bubbles, 2014, § 149)

Crushed by an uncontrollable outside, human beings protect themselves against the terror of open space by constructing buildings.
These spaces interest me not only as intimate places in which to seek shelter to the unknown, but also as amniotic environments that materialize one's obsessions.
Interno is an exercise in imagination about the home, the uncanny, the phantasmagorical.
Room after room, the neurotic movement of a gaze generates a dance of bodies and objects, the fabric of things is made and unmade continuously.
The eye as an opening towards the abyss of the unknown, peering over the threshold of another world.
