Idarte Open Studio

Winter 2020. Amidst the suspended time of the pandemic, Ida undertakes the cathartic act of clearing out her parents' home. While parting with objects and memories, she comes face-to-face with the old mattress—and from this encounter, the installation

The Expressive Journey: Matter, Light, and Sound

The work combines multiple artistic languages into an immersive visual and sensory experience:

  • The Pulsing Heart of Light: At the center of the installation shines a pulsing heart, flooded with light—a living symbol of the heartbeat of life rising again from the darkness, radiating the surrounding space with hope and warmth.

  • Video and Memory: Through a blend of archival imagery from the period of illness, the video documents the artist's inner struggle, transfiguring it into a dance toward the light—a ritual movement emerging from the shadow of suffering.

  • Installation and Performance: The mattress-altar becomes the stage where oil painting, digital technologies, scenographic sensitivity, and live performance converge, exploring the perpetual tension between spirit and matter.

  • Audience Participation: The artwork invites the viewer to become an active part of the experience. The installation includes a chest/chest-box where anyone can write down and deposit their own personal resurrection.

The Universal Question

“RESURREZIONI” is an intimate and collective call:

“What is your resurrection?”

Every word and every reflection preserved within the heart’s chest goes on to nourish and complete the deep meaning of the artwork.
