"Trench", "war room", "bulletin of the fallen" are just some of the terms used by communication to assimilate the fight against the virus to a war.
How much do these words affect our psyche by continually evoking a war scenario?
Man has assumed a dominant attitude over nature by abusing it, forgetting that he is part of a fragile complex and interconnected system.
The sense of helplessness towards something unknown and intangible makes the current health crisis completely psychological as well as very concrete in its clinical development.
To represent these assumptions, Evangelisti will create an immersive environmental space in which the formal elements of nature will incorporate light presences, fractal configurations in analogy to the branched and unpredictable development of the virus on the world map.
In addition to the pictorial element, in the exhibition room there will be some writing in gun shells related to the words used in the communication of the crisis aimed at evoking a "war metaphor". The symbol of the environment movement Extinction Rebellion will be recreated through the silhouettes of rifles and pistols in mirror steel.
To complete the installation, a video made during a journey of the artist in China will be projected for the first time, that is, the representation of the local landscape in which from the wooded areas we go towards the bleak urban mortification, a tangible metaphor for the human condition.
