Hyper-visibility, crumbling towers, the horizon line being moved elsewhere. Coclite and De Mattia focus on what we see. To see and to be seen from a tower that has lost its defensive function, from where nothing can be seen. To see and to be seen through the web. Seeing, controlling. Being seen and controlled. And this, for Coclite. De Mattia has an impact on the horizon that is completely retraced. During a documented performance, on a net that does not hide but dissimulates, the horizon is framed and moved to the place of the exhibition.
In this displacement, the authors reason on what happens to the way we perceive a place, to the identity we grasp when what we see is mediated, filtered. Some scientific terms such as aberration and distortion are used to indicate what can naturally happen to our vision, and reveal the contradictions of the places we see, of the territories we explore, marking even more the inevitable fragmentation of our vision -the crumbling towers- because we are flooded by an endless and nonsensical flow of images. A flow that ironically impairs our vision, making it lose all of its meaning, just like horizontal towers.
