Empty Die

A self-propelled installation that demands the action of the spectator, who becomes an actor, an active part of the evocation of what happens in the depths of violence: if you turn your heart, you choke your head. Violence begins with an emotional involvement that becomes psycho-emotional, where reason and dignity lose their definition. The heart must be caressed, not held in the grip of possession, in order to produce life.
The installation was adopted by the Municipality of Campomorone, Hall of Ceremonies.
