Sylvio Giardina Performance Haute Couture SS23

Palazzo Farnese — Rome

Original concept by Sylvio Giardina.
The sound installation was curated and coordinated by Tania Alineri, drawing on an extensive process of sound research, field recording, and experimentation. Everyday objects were selected for their sonic potential and explored through recording, sampling, and manipulation.
The sound material was recorded and subsequently processed by Filippo Temperini, transforming familiar sounds into fluid, aquatic textures. Through layering and sound processing, these elements were shaped into an immersive soundscape that evokes the movement and depth of water, blurring the boundaries between the familiar and the abstract.

“The ceiling is reflected in a large frame suspended like a spider’s web, where time slows its rhythm into that of the gestures of the two embroiderers. Stitch after stitch, the cosmogonies of the infinite are translated into drops of water. Palazzo Farnese, with its perfect proportions as an expression of the intellect at the center of the universe in the humanist vision, provokes a reflection on the relationship with nature—a return to that universal dimension where mankind is an integral part of the cosmos and the biosphere.”
