Jesus as a Flower - Madreperla (an hyperproject story)

The story of a sketch that turns video art, which becomes fabric.

This is a story of a project. The project began with a drawing of a flower, ink on paper, that was colored by computer inspired shades. The flower became a goddes, and began to move.

By the help of animator Simone Ghilardotti it started to move, and move, and move again.
We produced a fascinating video installation, a semi-static evolution that changes over time in a continuous dialectic between the mystical and Eros: the original image is broken down into digital form by vectorials approximations that at the same time simplify and abstract the process of understanding. The design becomes a dynamic system of mathematical functions, the sexual object is transformed into analytical curves of second and third degree that evolve in a temporal dimension.

The language is once again, like the other videopath from my old series "Trasformazioni.spore" (2010), generated by the narrow and sharp tension between beauty and kitsch. The video art project became an exhibition, exposed to the roBOt Festival in Bologna.  Maria Maddalena, Jesus, Joseph, Maria, Madreperla mystical rapresention.
