Have you ever spent more than 2 minutes in front of a work of art... ... and tried to dance it?

​

Starting from this question, the artist conducts the research into the union between observation, relationship and emotion, questioning the mechanisms underlying the perceptive vision of a work of art and how these influence the condition of the body placed in front of it. 

​

MIMESIS is an empathic act between two people: the artist and the spectator (who also becomes the creator)

through an interactive experience in theatrical venues, museums and exhibition spaces.
