LIFE IS A BALL

This artwork is a video piece in virtual reality which animates the Torso del Belvedere, a masterpiece which always owed its charm for its being "missing", interrupted by the action of time. Today, thanks to technology, it "comes back to life" and becomes alive. It suddenly finds himself involved in an absurd fencing assault with the simulation of a paralympic athlete without arms and legs.
