          Castle Of Fear is the projection of a nightmare construction aborted out of terror, anxiety, stress, pain, agony, doubts, precariousness, disgust and nausea. The castle voraciously devours and vomits visiting incarnations of dread as the pressure arises: its doors are always open, its mouth is always hungry for fleshes. The whole building is a rotting machine born out of a forced extrusion from a sharpened Rorschach blot. The artwork explores a hypothetical architectural visualization of negative thoughts and feelings through the use of disturbing cinematographic references

          ‘Nel Profondo Dell’Animo’ is a temporary exhibition hosted by ACRE Hub, curated by Federica Intraligi and Sara Petretto, in which the artists represent movements and deeper feelings objectified into nightmares, memories and distant melodies. For the occasion, I've been honored to showcase my artwork 'Castle Of Fear' with a pierced spatial installation built on-site.
