In his work Confini (Borders), Pietro Freddi explores human drama through data, testimonies, and a visual-audio rhythm. With the video Mappa delle Perdite (Map of Losses), he depicts the collective and systemic dimension of migration through numbers and geography; with Voci Sovrapposte (Overlapping Voices), he reveals the depth of individual experiences, transformed into visual and temporal matter.

Mappa delle Perdite (Map of Losses) is a world map that gradually comes to life, indicating the places where, from 2014 to 2025, thousands of migrants lost their lives attempting to cross geographical and political borders: the Mediterranean, the border between Mexico and the United States, the Sahara Desert, the Bay of Bengal, and others.

Each marked point is accompanied by a card detailing the incident: date, location, number of victims, origin, and destination. The installation builds a visual archive of the migratory tragedy, a geography of silence that grows over time.

A minimal soundtrack acts as a visual metronome: it marks the passage of time and the progressive appearance of data on the map, accentuating the inexorable and repetitive aspect of the news.

Voci Sovrapposte (Overlapping Voices) collects the testimonies of surviving migrants. The sentences appear on the screen and are repeated over and over in random positions, forming visual blocks—abstract paintings composed of overlapping words.

The result is a layering of memories that lose their individuality to merge into a collective presence, dense and visually powerful.

The minimal sound doesn't accompany but structures: it punctuates the appearance and reiteration of the words, guiding the rhythm with which the painting forms and expands, like a mechanical breath or a regular heartbeat.
