The artist's work is composed of Whipping Zombie and Lapidi, two videos that aim to explore the contemporary metamorphoses of the practices of memory, in relations to the traumas and bloody wounds of collective history. Whipping Zombie reflects on the ritual linked to the Caribbean cults of trance and possession, in which the inhabitants of a remote village in Haiti perform the gestures and the dynamics of their terrifying past as slaves. In Lapidi, the artist films the memorial tablets that honour the memory of the magistrates, civilians, journalists, police officers and all those to whom a monument has been devoted for having been victims of violence in Palermo. The video is a sequence of silent shots, in which the memorial tablets become video sculptures.
