(1) How long have you been making installations?

From '93.

(2) Why did you choose to make installations and not anything else?

Perfo. = aesthetical behaviour in SPACE/TIME of life, Instal. = aesthetical “object” in SPACE/TIME of life.

(3) What do you think of your own works?

For the most part, in my work perfo. and instal. are correct. Perfo. produce instal. or instal. is the space for the perfo. and perfo. alter this space. Contents of perfo. and instal. are the communications and the “network” of interactivity.

(4) What do you think the difference is between your own work and other installations?

My instal. is statical part of a dinamic process so, the instal. represent thes same process. I think the difference is in the content.

(5) What do you think of the relationship of traditional artwork and installation?

The instal. utilize the real space for representation. The traditional work represent the space. In this work the space and the time are “virtual”, in instal. are real. The instal. invade the space also the space of mind.

(6) What is the size and material of an installation determined by?

Before and in the meantime I used televisions and fragments of plates. Later, cotton and wool threads. Now... Size is relative to the space: an open place or a room.

(7) Could you mention the installation you consider to be the largest and the smallest one?

ÆInstal. “netform 11”, Firenze, Piazza della Vittoria, 22.6.97. ÆInstal “steel” (video instal.) '96 Dogosto(?) (Fe)

(8) Is there any object or idea that cannot be installed?

No.

(9) How does environment affect the installation of the work?

Instal. is a “part” of an environment; with this, the “Gestalt” of the environment, change.

(11) Do you like making installation for order or at request?

At request.

(12) What do you think of preserving an installation?

Preserving is a good questions. The instal. was born for a specific space, but this environment is a 'life-space', have other functions. What now? Surviving is to leave the photo and especially video documentations.

(13) Can the value of an installation be estimated and how?

Yes, all in this world is estimated.
