JUPITER
video, 4', stereo sound, 2022


'Jupiter' combines footage of nighttime lightning over the mountains of Corniglio, Italy with a soundscape featuring a variety of drumming sounds. The drums evoke a sense of anticipation, suggesting that something is about to happen, though it remains unclear what or when.
The work creates a dialogue between the lightning and drums as rhythm and randomness, patterns and unpredictability. There is no climax, no thunder and no recurrent pattern guiding the viewer.
‘Jupiter’ plays with the tension of expectations, reflecting our times of instability and uncertainty.
The title references the Roman god of lighting and thunder, invoking a mythic, larger-than-life element that symbolizes a loss of control and submission to the unknown.
