Andata e ritorno (round trip her) is a multimedia narration and internalisation of the artist’s journey through grief. The video installation tells the story of a loss, that of one’s parents, and fully surrounds the body of the viewer at a synesthetic level. In front of the viewer’s eyes slide images of clouds passing by, registered by the artist while travelling to see her mother one last time. The clouds are projected onto a garment that belonged to the woman, still impregnated with her scent. On the sides are drawings of both parents and of clothes belonging to the artist’s father. On an auditory level, the viewer is subjected to various stimuli: heartbeats, airplane engines, a piece of music, cicadas, bells; each with its symbolic meaning. Viewers and their emotions are part of the narration, which is not confined to private grief: the artist’s personal sorrow is rather an invitation to a shared journey that rationalises loss and absence.
