The main object of the work is a zither built entirely by hand on a cow basin, activated by the artist through a semi-static performance, made of slow movements, real accents performed by Armenia, wearing clothes specially made. Moreover, the decorations of the costume and the instrument are inspired by Sicilian craftsmanship, in this case, chromatically rendered bloodless compared to the repertoire offered by the best known tradition. The work also hides some esoteric references, such as the inscription on the inner part of the zither "Every thought flies", with reference to the initiatory journey planned by Vicino Orsini to the Sacro Bosco di Bomarzo.
The work will be completed by an audio installation created by the artist in collaboration with some musicians working in electronics.
