Odi.0 stems from an image of war: a collapsed bridge, a wounded river, a gesture of resistance transformed into creation. ‘What is hell? It is the inability to love,’ wrote Dostoevsky. From this wound, a work takes shape that intertwines music, virtual body and image. Carmen, the central figure, is no longer the seductive heroine but a resistant body, both real and digital avatar, advancing along a flooded Via della Conciliazione, under a rain of forgotten bodies. Her journey is a form of testimony. The music — the Habanera intertwined with the sound of an air raid alert over Kiev — becomes a tragic counterpoint: beauty that persists in ruin. In odi.0, memory and fall, freedom and loss, presence and disappearance coexist. And so, odi.0 becomes a work that flows like water, that persists like memory, that resists like Carmen. A work that saves no one, does not save itself, changes nothing. But it moves forward.
