“estado límbico is an essay that explores the hidden world of artificial natures. It develops an imaginary situated on the opposite side of usually witnessed human/environment symbiosis. This project is the result of an artistic residency hosted by the Robida Collective in Topolò/Topolove, a village on the border between Italy and Slovenia. Shot between different layers of abandonment - in places that were once inhabited, but became systematically unattended for generations - the enacted gestures seek to create a speculative archive. The result is a fictional testimony to the successive lives of things/beings after they fall outside the sphere of the pragmatical lifeworld. Here, the affinities seeked are not rationalized by instrumentality, but are meant to expose usually overlooked contexts which possess a silent life of their own.”
