Sonora is a video installation where viewers interact with images through the movements of the body and the voice
We enter an oneiric and archaic scenario, made up of desolate landscapes, rocky surfaces, sculptures and unknown faces. We find ourselves in a context in which place and time lose their significance.
The images are tied to noises, sounds and melodies from musical instruments.
The audience enters a dark room and sees the image of a huge veil that covers the entire screen like a membrane. Upon the approach of a viewer, the screen seems to open up in front of him and reveal the image of a strange moving shape.
A series of fluctuating filaments float through space to then merge into a single object. The eye slowly makes out that the filaments are forming into something that is recognizable.
This is perception.
It is a landscape seen from above, the surface of a statue, a face. It’s that subconscious experience of trying to recognize something. An intuitive and poetic act that allows us to appreciate beauty.
The matter in this vision is rock, solid, not deformable, tangible proof that what we see truly exists.
Various sounds are always present in the background and as the filaments transform, harmonies and melodies are created. The ear perceives a clear message to be interpreted emotionally.
Moving through this sequence of events leads the observer to a poetic experience.

- The world of Paolo Scoppola is an orography of activities, interests and techniques filtered by the sensibility of an artist devoted to experimentation and in continuous dialogue with his own time. Photography, drawing, music and programming are the ingredients that over the course of a lifetime help define an artistic dimension where the classic dichotomy between analog and digital is dissolved in a superior design that incorporates and exceeds each component.
