On the ground floor of Palazzo Carpegna, home to the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca, Daniele Puppi’s solo exhibition features four video-sound installations, three of which are previously unseen. Curated by the former president of the Accademia, Marco Tirelli, the exhibition engages viewers directly, inviting them to immerse themselves in a new and alienating spatial-sensory dimension.
Born in Pordenone in 1970, Puppi has developed a radically new approach to video installation, subverting its conventional use and bringing sound and visual-architectural reconfiguration to the fore. Video projectors, LED screens, synchronisers, amplifiers, subwoofers, speakers and microphones are functional tools for activating the viewers’ perceptive faculties.
The title of the exhibition refers to a typical expression in the Sardinian dialect, which expresses wonder or amazement at a sudden and unexpected flash of light, a lightning bolt, whose appearance overwhelms the observer. An aggregate of energy — a lightning bolt, in fact — springs from Daniele Puppi’s work and, like an electric shock, travels through the architectural spaces of the building, transforming them into a “force field” and radically altering their perception.
