Flatform: In natura non esistono effetti speciali, solo consequenze [With nature there are no special effects, only consequences]
A man is shot inside an empty room and he moves and takes on positions continuously out of  barycentre.
The nature of the lacks of balance is invisible and his ability into standing up in spite of unnatural postures is inexplicable: this video has been realized without special effects but is simply the result of a real shooting of an artificial condition.
With nature there are no special effects, only consequencesoutlines a declared state of suspense or unstable equilibrium between the abstract and the unexpected, control and chance, inertia and sudden shock. To be more precise the exact point of instant contact between the state of foresight and the extra ordinary.
This work moves along an ideal border-line, the one  of meaning, which articulates the difference between possibility and impossibility, between movement and pose (pause). The impossible impends on the possible, at least as much as the possible verifies the impossible.

For Flatform, constructing a territory implies stirring events and creating spaces, concepts and inertia. Causing  interactions between objects rather than interventions. Promoting relationships of position that are movements. Determining actions rather than depictions.
