Pieta a project consisting of two video projections, with sound, two large size photographs, and an online blog page related to the process of conceptualization and production of the project. Pietà is the title of the whole project, while on the iconographic level it applies also to the photographs exhibited as an integral part of it, which in life size (200x180cm) depict a lying semi-naked male and a sitting female figure in the ambience of a graveyard. The first thing that strikes the eye in their composition is the lack of almost any physical contact between the two figures. In fact, there is some physical contact between them on the photos, but so slight that it almost escapes observation. In the video segment they are completely separated, not only by the fact that they are presented in different frames, but also because the male figure is shown from the back, as if moving away from the viewer and from the female figure.
