Street Fighters

2010Interactive game cabinet with touchscreen and electric wires, 8 videosThe work has been awarded and commissioned for the Italian Prize 2010

EXHIBITIONS:TRE, curated by Filippo Maggia, the Fondazione di Fotografia di Modena, Modena, 2010

Street Fighters addresses the delicate theme of death at work in Italy, the country with Europe’s highest professional mortality rate. An unfortunate record of more than 1300 victims a year, meaning that 4 or 5 workers die every day, for the greediness of those managers who don’t stick to health and safety regulations. The project consists of a video installation: short videos played by an 80’s game cabinet, from the bottom of which many power cables run across the floor and walls of the space.
The viewer – ironically trapped by the desire of playing – can interact with the videogame, and choose which videos and features to watch.
