Florinda Ciucio (Antwerp, 1993) is a visual artist and film-
maker from Belgium. She holds a Master’s degree in Film
Directing from LUCA School of Arts Brussels. After directing
short documentaries, she expanded her practice into video
art and installation.
Working with moving image, CGI, archival material, photo-
graphy and sound, her practice explores how technology and
images shape our perception of reality. Her works often fo-
cus on landscapes, memory and digital media, questioning
the distance between what is real and what is constructed,
projected or imagined.
Her work has been supported by the Flanders Department
of Culture and Arts, VOCATIO and the Flanders Film Fund,
and developed through residencies at Viafarini Milan and
Cité Internationale des Arts Paris. Her work has been pre-
sented internationally, including at LOOP Barcelona, Noor-
derlicht Biennale, Be-Part Kortrijk, Castel Belasi and Espace
Vanderborght Brussels.

2025, 5’, video installation with wooden structure
installation view of exhibition ‘Setting’ at viafarini.garage, Milano
DESCRIPTION
SCREEN TIME is an installation with a video of a sunset fra-
med within a wooden window structure.
Inspired by the popular use of fake fireplace videos to de-
corate homes, the work reinterpretes this idea through
landscape: an idyllic sunset becomes a kind of digital win-
dow to nature.
The scene offers an image of escape and beauty, while the
visible structure reminds us that what we are looking at is
constructed.
The sunset video was filmed around my grandparents’ vil-
lage in Sicily, which they had to leave 80 years ago, due to
socio-economic hardship. The idyllic and romantic image
contrasts with the reality of the place, questions the ideals
and desires we project onto landscape and its imagery and
the increasingly digitalized way we experience them, deta-
ching us from our visual reality.
