Lose voice toolkit is an ongoing research that investigates the languages of childhood, the power of silence and other forms of non-verbal communication used as a gesture of rebellion, as well as ways to build spaces of autonomy against the communicative canons dictated by the world of adults. The project was awarded the 2022 fellowship of Cripta747 Residency Programme in Turin, Italy. During 2022 Turin Art Week we presented part of the research carried out during the first two months of residency with an Open Studio event.

Spirit Talks is ongoing series of short mute B&W 16mm films. These videos are inspired by the history of ‘spirit photography’, where, coeval to the initial diffusion of the photographic medium, a big interest in spiritism arose. At the time, many female channelers gained the attention of the positivist scientific community who wanted to use photography as a way to prove or disprove the magical summonings.

“Flighty matters” is an ongoing series of three short films around the politics of production of voice and strategies of active denial. When language is so much manufactured and problematically connoted, the refusal of direct communication opens up a possibility for autonomy.

The film explores the ‘Farfallino’ language, a coded version of Italian used by children to secretly communicate between each other. In Italian, literally, farfallino means language of butterflies, from the animal’s noun farfalla. The work starts from the proposition of a unintelligible communication capable of transpassing species through incomprehension. While employing mechanism of exclusion and inclusion, languages creates separatisms and possible alliances, so that, eventually, the only faithful speech would be a broken one.

The second video of the series reconstitutes the performance of G. Puccini’s aria “Un bel dì vedremo’’ from the very problematic opera “Madama Butterfly”, but sung in the argot of farfallino. The opera is widely recognized as one of the most infamous examples of orientalism and imperialist sexism. In my film, I try to explore if there is a possibility to escape mechanisms of ‘othering’ through the disruption of direct communication, both by singing and distortion of words.

Starting from Anne Carson’s “The gender of sound”, the third film plays around with the trope that classically associates women with an irrational and uncontrolled outflow of sounds, more similar to the monstrous than the human—the opposite of rational, self-controlled, moderate in speaking Man. Employing unpleasant sounds, high-pitched shrieks, and guttural groans, the video explores stages between femininity and animality. The film starts with a woman who is losing her voice, but this loss provokes other physical mutations. The camera’s point of view goes down in the woods, suggesting the perspective of a critter that is moving four-footed. The disappearing voice will eventually come back as animals’ cries.

“The Jury finds the winning thesis wonderfully written: it’s complex, layered, knowing, reflective. Using carefully chosen words to question language. They appreciate the high ambition of this thesis. It is a true master thesis in that it explores the author’s own position in relation to the subject, the field and the world. The author explores questions that are relevant today. She is trying to unpack terms and go beyond the general definitions, pushing definitions and contradictions. The Jury was especially intrigued by ‘feminism’ in relation to ‘nature’.” Joost Grootens, ACPA staff member, Leiden University (jury chair) Astrid Vorstermans, founder Valiz Publishers, Amsterdam (external jury member) Marina Otero, director of research, Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam (external jury member)

Starting from the Winogradsky column, a late XIX century positivist experiment that recreates the first stages of bacterial life on earth, Blossoms and fruits at once is a work that critically reflects on the human desire to go back to a primordial moment of existence, connecting local histories, geological temporalities, oral narratives and magical thought.

‘I travel’ is a eight channel video installation that stages an imaginary dialogue between eight people on the meaning of defining yourself as a woman, the role of body and relationships with other subjects, going through family, sexuality and feminist relations. Eight diverse ways to live gender with a critic and “eccentric” approach, as Teresa de Lauretis would say, starting from the question on the role of gender in the construction of identity. What is a woman? Whether “woman” is an identity acquired as a claim, whether is experienced like an external imposition, a product of social technologies that can be deconstructed.
