The name Pandibosco (forest bread) emerged during a conversation with a family member about the transmission of stories and food traditions, reflecting the challenges of forest and mountain life. This ongoing project explores mythologies and cultural movement through „poor cuisine.“ These dishes reveal cultural interconnections.
Central to Pandibosco is the Knödel, an Alpine dumpling made from old bread. The Alps serve as a cultural crossroads, shaped by both hardship and diverse influences. The earliest depictions of dumplings appear in 12th-century frescoes, and mythical creatures show the influence of travelers from Mesopotamia and Greece—not just carried by people, but also through stories. These elements appear in egg tempera paintings, evoking alpine folklore.
The work includes the video Memories of an Empty Stomach, which presents interviews with two nuns who recount their childhood memories and daily food consumption before the 1950s. These oral histories are interwoven with personal footage from my grandfather‘s Super 8 camera, capturing mountain landscapes, and conclude with a short love story about a prince and the moon—a symbol of longing and the boundless imagination of distant connections.

Casted Stones, 2023

The project imagines what stones have absorbed and how much fragmented information remains on their surfaces. The black-and-white photograph shows an enlarged view of a pebble’s surface, deformed by the water found in a fountain. At the center of the installation are 3D ceramic prints, which interpret this deformation. The VHS video projected onto it features found footage from my family collection, showing stonemasons shaping a stone for a fountain to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Dolomites. The stonemasons remove the surface layer of the stone, one layer at a time. The projection is accompanied by the repetitive sound of stone and metal colliding. These images explore the fluidity and complexity of the deformation of stone remnants. In the 3D ceramic objects, one can find eyes, starfishes, and fragments of columns, inspired by the cultures the stone has encountered over the course of its life.

Interpretation of „Fossils“ is an artistic exploration of fossils, capturing nature‘s movements and changes through a personal lens. The project focuses on fossil-rich locations in South Tyrol, where impressions are collected and transformed into digital imprints.
The film Die reisende Insel depicts an island moving between shores, with trees, grasses, amphibians, and insects living on it. Spanning 20 minutes and 28 seconds, the film raises questions about the island‘s origin, growth, and movement. It appears to emerge from nature’s remains, symbolizing a contradiction to humanity’s journey. Is it mankind exploring new lands, or is the world itself silently navigating through time, carrying its ancient history?
These impressions are intuitively shaped into sculptures, with the island growing from an accumulation of natural remains. The „material in my studio“ became the source for creating objects reflecting time in motion. The artefacts are made of clay, plant remains, shells, and plastic. Quick digital imprints, created by a scanner, preserve the fragility of these elements. The series Reisetagebuch Motus 1-9 and Reisetagebuch Cumulus explore time and change. The installation includes the film of the island‘s movement and ten series of digital imprints, protected by glass plates on wooden blocks.

Thoughts through a body, 2021
HD Video 7’21’’ Dancing Thoughts,
Poems in typewritten booklet 21cm x 12cm
“Thoughts Through a Body” is a multimedia project created in 2020-21, comprising a typewritten booklet and a HD-video. The video captures a poetic exchange where one person draws/writes thoughts onto the skin of another, who then transfers them onto paper. These thoughts are expanded feelings of the poems written by Lucilla, who sent them to us. Lucilla’s poems were collected to process her feelings and foster a deeper sense of connection with her life anxieties during the pandemic.
During a time of reduced social interactions, the work responds on our muted expressions and to our need for connection. Through words, drawings, and multimedia we wanted to create a listening practice. The HD video titled “Dancing Thoughts“ intertwines visual representations of thoughts with Lucilla’s poems.
Collaboration with artists Lucilla Patrizi and Jonas Kolecki

A summer of fossils and deception, 2019
Photoseries of four images, Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin,
310gr, 30 cm x 45 cm;
„It was summer, I wandered along the promenade of a basque coastal town.
I was struck by intricate patterns etched into sandstone slabs.
They seemed to be fossilized plants. I was shocked, pedestral walkers
were blind to the beauty beneath their feets.
Driven by a need to preserve these disappearing images,
I embarked on a mission to capture them with my camera.
Initially met with curious stares, but soon strangers joined in,
their gestures guiding me to this hidden treasures amidst
the mundane expanse of the promenade.
Together, we reclaimed the overlooked treasures beneath our feets,
shifting our gaze to pause and admire the wonders around us
before they fade away.“
