The Naked Sun

The Naked Sun 2020, Installation by Wizardoz Chrome (aka Alba Rocca)

"In this Installation, you can see a few machinima of mine, linked
to the same feelings that the book of Asimov has created in me.
These machinima contain video clips mainly focused on Art in Virtual worlds.
 Art is one of the major means to transmit feelings,
and often in machinima, it does so without using words...

These machinima contain collective installations or artistic works 
of individual artists, linked by a soundtrack,
which is also the background “leitmotiv” in evoking emotions.
The title of the machinima is generated by the name of the collective Exhibition
in which the artists have shown their works or, in the case of a single artist's work,
by the name of the Installation and/or by what the artist wanted to express. 

The machinima is displayed on the walls of a citadel, I created by Photoshop.
It is inspired by the colored village of Manarola, located in the coastal area of 
"Cinqueterre", UNESCO World Heritage Site within Liguria (Italy).

On the walls of this City, you will find the Shadows of "Inhabitants" and "Things".
It is an "Empty" City on the outside, but “Alive” inside the Houses.
It recalls the current situation of isolation caused by the Covid19 Pandemic."

It is a "City" that expresses the desire
TO GO OUT INTO SUN
leaving behind 
DOUBTS, FEARS, LONELINESS, and SHADOWS 

If you have not gone and seen this installation then it is time you should. The city gives you the feeling of life but in a quiet way from the inside. We all have been experiencing this in our own cities, so this is easy to put yourself right in the middle of this.  A sharp increase in cases among the under-40 age group in comparison with early phases of the pandemic blamed by experts on so-called “second wave behavior” as younger age groups – who see themselves as less likely to contract a severe case of the disease – have let down their guard. Don't let that warm sun fool you. 

A second wave of the virus was expected to come in the fall or winter, as with most influenza-like viruses, but that doesn’t mean another wave can’t hit before then. It is up to everybody to do their part and follow the guidelines to flatten the curve. We are all in this together.
