My recent work focuses on the creation of identities through the use of fictionalized characters. The shaping of these characters has so far taken various forms: live performance, site – specific installation, internet – based art, comic - writing, and video. I have been exploring adolescence and gender identity, raising questions both on a personal and a general level. While dealing, on a personal level, with the need to question my own gender and age identity, on a general level I have used fiction to analyze the way identity can change according to one’s own cultural references. Starting from this, I have been looking into the idea of Romanticized death in relation to youth, icons and the use of internet. I consider most of my work as an attempt to live again experiences of playing I had as a child. The elements of failure, longing and frustrated desire are therefore fundamental in the shaping of my work. My work, which is mostly performative and often involves large – scale installations, has a very strong theatrical element that I consider related to my interest in literature. The narrative of my work is often non – linear and wishes, in this sense, to find and re – propose the sameness of an archetypal figure within the fragmentation of a self dominated by the mass media. My installations can be seen as stages where a certain story happens, or has already happened. In this way, they can be seen as a single scene from a potentially longer narrative, one whose beginning and end are unknown and can, therefore, be changed continuously.
