Danilo Ursini - Domodossola, Italy

A live installation inspired by Richard Wagner's concept of Gesamtkunstwerk. Incorporating a video projection, dry ice, sound, location, and live performance, this project attempts to achieve the state of a total artistic immersion while documenting the state of perpetual change.

Taking Richard Wagner’s concept of Gesamtkunstwerk, we offer our interpretation of anthropocene by incorporating video motion, projection, dry ice, city sound, location, live performance, and the audience to document the nature of perpetual change since the industrial revolution. In our attempt at reaching a total artistic immersion, the audience observes each layer in this continuum, participating in the construction of history as a bystander.

Danilo’s work has been exhibited at the Florence Biennale, the Louvre, the Venice Biennale, Vogue Italia, California, and Toronto. He is an introvert.
