Developed as a site-specific installation for SRISA Gallery in Florence, the project brought together painting, sculpture, drawing, video, and sound to create an immersive environment inspired by narratives about electromagnetic fields, technological exposure, and perceived influence. Different media occupied the exhibition space as fragments of a single perceptual landscape, moving between physical presence and invisible phenomena.
As part of the project, Alessio de Girolamo also presented a live sound performance for SRISA students. A contact microphone attached to a microwave oven captured the appliance's vibrations, transforming an ordinary domestic object into a source of sonic material. The resulting signals were amplified and processed live, revealing an acoustic dimension normally hidden within its everyday operation.
The performance extended the exhibition into an act of listening: vibration became sound, and an apparently familiar object became the source of an unstable sonic experience. Across installation and performance, Who’s Afraid of the Wolf? investigated the threshold between what is perceptible and what remains hidden, and the psychological space that emerges between the two.
