The work is an ongoing project. All the images come from online distributed videos documenting military armies from various countries. All of them are about military parades. Originally these videos were prepared as an attempt of celebration of force, coordination, human strength. Looking at them from a purely aesthetic point of view, what these images reveal is a complete dehumanization: they look more like digital entities, graphic patterns moving on the screen; they can even recall some kitsch wallpapers from the Sixties.This work doesn’t really care about social or geopolitical implications, it's not about armies nor violence or power: it is a pure matter of aesthetic, it’s about dance, choreography, rhythm, sound. These images are somehow so full of sound that I decided not to compose any further music.
