Synopsis
This project takes shape as an act of evocation. It does not summon spirits in the literal sense, but rather listens to the intangible legacies of those presences that, one or more times, have passed through Spoleto – walking its streets, inhabiting its spaces, leaving singular and irreducible traces, and decisively contributing to shaping the identity of the Festival dei Due Mondi.
These “spirits” are not conjured through ritual objects or mediumistic practices. Instead, the act of evocation unfolds through a personal and surreal visual universe. In this vision, memory becomes a moving image – a fluid material that expands on a monumental scale, projected onto Spoleto’s most emblematic architectural surfaces.
The city becomes both stage and container: a living organism, a sensitive interface between what has been and what continues to be.
The projections emerge as spectral imprints, temporal distortions in which history, imagination, and digital matter converge. The familiar becomes strange; the monument opens up, becoming permeable. What is evoked is not a fixed past, but an unstable, shifting presence that still vibrates and resonates within Spoleto’s cultural fabric.
