INTERSECTION is a site-specific installation that articulates a dialogue between the painting of Paolo Maggis and the video art of Vanessa Pey. Two languages that, rather than coexisting, collide and mutually contaminate each other, generating a perceptual experience in which the painted image and the projected image contend for space, time, and the body of the viewer.
At this intersection, painting and projection confront and contradict one another; they resist fusion and yet seek each other out as a single organism in transformation. The installation is conceived as a transient and malleable body, formed by images of opposing nature that share the same desire for unity, while knowing that all union is ephemeral.
The project reflects on identity as a territory in transit, on being in relation to the other, to space, and to the social gaze. In this sense, INTERSECTION explores the tension between individuality and dissolution, between the stable image and its disintegration within the flow of light and movement.
The project proposes an itinerant and adaptable format, reinterpreted according to the exhibition space, each time creating a new interaction between painting, projection, and architecture.
Although both of us have clearly defined individual trajectories, this collaboration has opened a new creative territory in continuous evolution, where the boundaries between authorship, disciplines, and media become blurred.
Beyond the formal encounter between languages, INTERSECTION is conceived as an experience of de-identification, an exercise in transcending the ego that seeks a state of shared awareness, both between us and with the audience.
