The project consists of a multimedia installation aimed at recreating an interior landscape of memories, external influences, and internal reworkings, exploring the relationship between the organic and architectural bodies. Both alive, they share the process of mutation, a succession of events that over time mark and reconfigure the structure of things. Just as cellular systems multiply and destroy within a human body, so an architectural body breathes, expanding and contracting over the course of its history.

Within the projection, divided into two panels, organic forms advance through space as if seen under a microscope; they interact with the site's archival traces, the Convent of San Francesco. The photographic memories in question become deteriorated visual fragments, only partially recognizable, subject to erosive activity they perpetually endure. Architecture, however, is not a passive form, but rather a living object that benefits from these alterations, changing in appearance while always retaining traces of its past life, enriched by each transformation.

The projected images are interactive, synchronized to a soundtrack. The soundtrack evokes the uneasiness of ongoing changes, dwelling on the sound of life: the pulse, the flow of things. The viewer's body connects to the work through a padded interface: it should not appear as a domestic element, but rather as a reflection of the concept of the audiovisual work.
