CARBON \/ DIAMOND<\/h2><\/div>

Carbon \/ Diamond articulates a single material across different states.
\nCoal, carbon, diamond\u2014
\nsame element, different conditions.
\nThe work does not represent transformation.
\nIt embodies it.<\/p>\n

Matter becomes a measure of pressure, time and value.
\nWhat is perceived as difference is only a variation of structure.<\/p><\/div>

SAUDI ARABIA PROJECT<\/h2><\/div>

The Saudi Arabia Project marks a phase of expansion into an international and cross-disciplinary context.
\nDeveloped within a framework that brings together art, technology and industry, the project operates at the intersection of cultural exchange and artistic direction.
\nSantona was invited to lead the artistic direction of a large-scale event in Riyadh, engaging with institutional representatives, industrial partners and international stakeholders.
\nThe work unfolds as a dialogue between different systems:
\nartistic practice, technological development and cultural identity.
\nThe intervention does not impose a narrative.
\nIt establishes a field of collaboration.<\/p>\n

Within this context, the artwork functions as a mediator\u2014
\na structure capable of connecting languages, disciplines and geographies.
\nThe project reflects a shift from individual production to a broader, systemic dimension, where art operates as a platform for exchange.<\/p><\/div>

HOLOGRAM PORTRAITS<\/h2><\/div>

Hologram Portraits redefine the condition of the image.
\nThe subject is no longer fixed, but emerges through movement, light and temporal activation. The portrait exists as a dynamic field rather than a stable form.
\nVisibility is contingent.<\/p>\n

The work appears only when activated, shifting between presence and disappearance. What is seen is not a representation, but a process.
\nThe image does not hold the subject.
\nIt releases it.<\/p><\/div>

DANTE HACKED<\/h2><\/div>

Dante Hacked operates at the threshold between language and code.
\nThe Divine Comedy is translated into binary, shifting from readable text to a visual and computational structure. Meaning is displaced, not removed.
\nThe work exists within a system that cannot fully interpret it.
\nText becomes image.
\nLanguage becomes data.
\nAuthorship becomes unstable.
\nA second, hidden layer remains embedded within the code\u2014accessible, but not immediately legible.
\nDante Hacked does not represent a text. It tests the limits of its transmission.
\nThe work exposes a fracture:
\nbetween what is written, what is seen, and what can be processed.<\/p><\/div>

TRINIT\u00c1<\/h2><\/div>

Trinit\u00e0 marks the origin of Santona\u2019s research.
\nThe work emerges from a direct encounter with matter, beyond intention and control.
\nHere, the void appears for the first time as an active, generative condition.
\nNot absence, but structure.
\nFrom this point, the practice shifts:
\nfrom shaping to opening,
\nfrom form to field.<\/p>\n

Trinit\u00e0 is not an early work.
\nIt is the point from which everything unfolds.<\/p><\/div>

CRASH<\/h2><\/div>

Crash is a large-scale sculptural project addressing human dignity.
\nThe work unfolds through the multiplication of a single form: a fallen figure, replicated and distributed across space. Each element is autonomous, yet inseparable from the whole.<\/p>\n

Meaning emerges through accumulation.
\nThe project operates beyond the exhibition context, extending into public and non-institutional environments.
\nCities become sites.
\nDistribution becomes structure.
\nCrash does not narrate an event.
\nIt constructs a condition in which absence is made visible.
\nEach unit stands as a minimal presence\u2014
\na fragment that holds together loss, memory and unresolved identity.
\nThe work resists completion.
\nIt remains open, dispersed, and collective.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CARBON \/ DIAMONDCarbon \/ Diamond articulates a single material across different states.
