My Heart is a Void, the Void is a Mirror - Odessa Episode (2022)

The Odessa Episode - which follows the stages of Catania, Riga and Cape Town - is the installation developed by the artist after a long period spent in Ukraine, in the most dramatic moment of the Covid-19 emergency, when the country was closed to foreigners. The film recounts the efforts made to carry out a powerfully visionary work in those difficult months.
