Itinerante Silente

Itinerante Silente is a site-specific work about slow violence, temporality, permanence, and the embodiment of nature. Inspired by Jussi Parikka’s essay “A Slow, Contemporary Violence: Damaged Environments of Technological Culture,” the piece reflects on the subtle yet persistent marks humanity leaves on the environment, even altering the micro-chemical composition of every ecosystem. Filmed at the Bengtskär lighthouse, Finland, an area marked by a historical battle in 1941, the traces of war are still visible in the architecture and surrounding landscape, the work captures a dialogue between decay and endurance.

Through the distortion of sound and image, the piece manipulates nature’s temporal rhythm, revealing a landscape both wounded and alive. Itinerante Silente meditates on the duality of nature, beautiful and catastrophic, violent and forgiving. It also speaks to a shared violence that now extends beyond nature herself: a fractured rhythm, suspended in time, where human and environmental forces have become inseparable.
