It is slow, it seems long. It is short. About love in time.
The very rare half moon in vertical position, during its real-time moving across the sky, observed from our globe.

Artist's statement
On a special day, I was sitting on my terrace in Rome, while I noticed the half-moon in a very rare vertical position.
I observed the moon’s slow crossing over what seemed to me “my sky" and I started to think about love and time. In my eyes, that image was dramatically beautiful. It was that, what Love meant for me in this very moment: It is slow, it seems long. It is short. The artistic work, which came out from that experience is the video, I’ve called loving.

Ambientation and participative act
The Ambientation is composed by the video-projection and an environment with desk, chair, lamp, paper-sheets and pen and by the participative act, in which the visitors are invited to sit at the desk, to write a love-letter and to leave it in the drawer.
The act includes the intimacy of the visitors with attention on their handwriting and its visual aspect. Feelings and the collected love-letters become part of the artwork.
