In 2011, I began exploring the possibilities of expanding a work into the space that contains it, and conversely, of incorporating space into the final work. This process found its ideal point of convergence and dialectical completion in the photographic medium. Abstract painting, exhibited in places not designated for art, functioned as a trigger for a short-circuit: why were those works displayed in that particular place? In the present edition, I have selected a particular context: during a free-jazz concert of my friends in a basement, I produced and applied my "pictorial triggers" to the walls according to improvisation patterns, identifying with the musical gesturality. With the final intervention of photography I also physically converged the various elements of the context (material, spatial, pictorial and musical) into a sort of underground Gesamtkunstwerk.
