For the Love of This Land
Semi-finalist in the 2017 TVO Short Doc contest.

Works - The art installation
My cd Works is the first CD that is both a musical project and art installation. It's distributed for free in two ways: social and antisocial. Through the social distribuition you can download the entire album for free. Through the antisocial distribuition "Works" is handed out through an art installation.Works has been made into 300 numbered and signed CDs, left on the streets or in public places, there to be picked by people passing by. Every copy left is photographed and the photo is shared on this website. The CDs are distributed by me or by volunteers. See the full installation. If you want to distribute a CD, send me a message on contacts.
Urban RE Action Figure – Roma Museo MACRO
From 14 to 16 July 2017 the Cd Works and Its installation were taken to the Museo Macro in Rome on the occasion of Urban KING Action Figure. It's probably the first Cd to be exposed in a Museum of contemporary art.
The installation has the aim to make people think about the real meaning of the word “sharing”, in a world where social networks have given a virtual vision to this word (share photos, videos, news, virtual petitions). This is why the name “antisocial distribution”. Without the intent of demonizing Facebook, Twitter and others, the installation wants to demonstrate that you can share also in real life. Some places chosen are highly symbolic as the headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels and the White House in Washington because the correct interpretation of the word "sharing" also passes through the centres of power. Share among all ... resources and wealth.
