"A.E.W.O.M. [Le strabisme du Dragon]", elaborated by the artist between 2007 and 2009, presents itself as an experimental test for a complex visual “diagram”, formed by a close network of correspondences found between different disciplines: Art History, Theoretical Physics, Theology and Martial Arts, converging in a single act within an ancient early Christian site in the heart of the city known as the symbol of the Italian Renaissance.
The project visualizes the area of intersection between a Dragon (mythological figure, symbol of the union of the elements), whose gaze, with eyes looking in different directions, is here the effect of an apparently contradictory strabismus, and the Aleph Experiment, the physics research programme of the CERN/Centro Europeo per la Ricerca Nucleare (European Organization for Nuclear Research) of Geneva, concerned with the observation of the systematic result of countless high-energy collisions of oppositely charged subatomic particles. This reference inspired the initial acronym of the exhibition's title, literally, Aleph Experiment Without Mass.
An experimental exhibition that, through the imaginative visualization of gravitational interactions tries, above all, to experience a nearly symmetrical basic field; a potential field that exists before mass; but also a field that, possessing continuous quantum fluctuations, is metastable. A field that some call “void”.
