Florinda Ciucio (Antwerp, 1993) is a visual artist and filmmaker based between Italy and Belgium. She graduated from LUCA School of Arts in Brussels as a film director. After directing several short films, she developed a practice in video art and installation work.

Influenced by her background in cinema, she works with fixed frames, darkened spaces, and suspended time. Working with time as a central element, she uses rhythm, repetition, and routine to create slow, attentive moments that highlight the process of looking, listening, and paying attention in an overstimulated visual culture.

Her current research examines our relationship to landscape and technology, creating work that functions both sensorially and critically. Through this, her work engages with landscape as a constructed and mediated space, where technological processes actively shape how reality is seen, understood, and experienced. She uses media such as film footage, CGI, AI, archival video, sound design, photography, and spatial installations.

DESCRIPTION

JUPITER is a video combining video footage of night time lightning over the mountains of Corniglio, with a soundscape of a variety of drumming sounds.

The work creates a dialogue between the lightning and drums as a question between rhythm and randomness, of patterns and unpredictability.

There’s no climax, no thunder and no recurrent pattern guiding the viewer. The lightning and drums both seem to create a sense of anticipation, suggesting that something is about to happen, though it remains unclear what and when. JUPITER plays with this tension of expectations, reflecting current times of instability and uncertainty.
