Project: Axiom
The rhythm of clapping hands, the repetition of images in equally timed segments: We are lulled and seduced. Like any other high functioning receptor, the human brain is indiscriminate about what it picks up. How then do we resist the seemingly benign when we're mesmerized by it in spite of our better judgment?

Project: Exiles
The audiovisual work EXILES I talks about the loss of meaning in a complex mode of in-dwelling, which blurs the lines between reality and fiction, producing helplessness, alienation and ambiguity, which, in turn, represent the conflict in our postmodern notion of the place. It creates a strange and ghastly scene, a disturbing picture, placing the viewer in real space, to transport them later into a drawn non-reality, caused by the alienation of the subject and its non-permanence anywhere.
The artwork represents an interaction with the urban environment, where the city is perceived as if it were a threatening area, extracted from a nightmare, a strange and sometimes hostile place, where the actress, unprotected in her nakedness, looks for and reveals a new sense of the urban space, while this space, on its turn, has been set by herslef.
The protagonist is an alienated being who lives dramatically the contrast between the isolation of her own intimate private world and the city ... in a fruitless attempt to seize the urban environment, to integrate into it. In her dream / nightmare, she tries to become familiar, to appropriate, to integrate into the space, in order to avoid this feeling of alienation and emptiness, knowing from the start that this attempt always will be doomed to shipwreck.

Project: ALIA SUPER ALIAM [I almost can’t see anymore]
The actions performed daily and the sensations linked to them experienced by the cloistered nuns who lived in the former convent, a space that is complex and fragmented, characterised both functionally and
emotionally by precious architectonic stratifications, come to life in ALIA SUPER ALIAM [I almost can’t see anymore], a b/w video by Annamaria Di Giacomo, in a symbolic piling up of locks of hair that fall “one on top of
another” until they obscure the vision.
Text by AMBRA STAZZONE GEMINE MUSE 2009_ STRATIFICAZIONI [dalla casa di Agata al convento delle Benedettine].
ALIA SUPER ALIAM, the one on the other [from the Latin]: renunciations and choices, whether wished for or imposed, as locks are stacked, till they darken the vision [I almost can’t see anymore].
A haircut refers, metaphorically, to the idea of the death. It represents the loss of something \"old\", characteristic of a certain period, and the possibility of finding something “new” in life.

Project: Relation
[...] Although there is no story supporting the image, it is through the video-processing of the writing and the interview off-stage between The Stranger and Theaetetus (from the “Sophist” by Plato), that “Relation”
offers a pace similar to one of the aspects of narration. This is not a story in images, because it uses a meaningful structure which passes through the word, not just as a sound body but as a semiological act, and the writing shown uses the principle of sequences and visual pauses.
The image is minimal, black and white, a still shot of the movement of the windscreen wiper of a car which is “washing away”, as it modulates in a precise cadence the emergence and disappearance of words, the emergence and disappearance of the conceptual meaning they transmit.
Annamaria Di Giacomo relies on the metaphor to state that diversity, dissimilarity and otherness are the result of the urgency to compare something or someone, of a comparison between two states, between two
elements, between two individuals. Indeed, everything is different and for that reason everything is identical: the difference is a blank background and searching for it is futile. Text by FIAMMETTA STRIGOLI

Project: The Persistence of Forgetting
This video explores the culture of divorce via nonlinear thematic patterns. Digital video footage and archival film clips are interwoven to embody an amnesiac experience, forgetting through remembering. The archival films reflect the protagonist’s shift from subconscious to conscious awareness, and represent the societal impact of the Hollywood studio system..

Project: So Far Away...So Close
Self-portrait created from images captured during 365 days with a camera web installed in my study. Video about the identity and the relations on Internet, showing the changes of the concept of space and time that arise with the technology of the current communication.

Project: Domestic Rhythms
This video begins with Rapunzel’s fairy tale wedding. Selected clips from the children’s animation depict her marriage falling apart. Newsreel footage of fashion models and sequences from a film about communication technology are linked to the witch. The implication is that the mass media casts a spell that disenchants viewers.

Project: Medidas del Arte
Forma parte de la serie, "pensar con las manos\".
Un diccionario particular de crítica a la crítica del arte escrito en "tiempo iluminado" [tiempo audiovisual]. No ilustra pensamiento ajeno sino que pone en practica pensamiento para dar forma sensible a mis ideas. Construyendo opinión sobre arte en un dálogo con la textualidad de la estética.
Medidas del Arte responde a la imposibilidad de encontrar unas reglas o criterios validos para juzgar las obras en el arte contemporáneo desde que el “Arte” se convirtió indiscernible [a los sentidos] de cualquier objeto común, acción común, gesto común. El “arte” solo lo podemos reconocer a través del marco teórico de recepción.
La posmodernidad impuso un relativismo, un pluralismo de criterios, una desarticulación de los cánones que se aplicaban hasta entonces incluyendo la modernidad] a las obras de arte para su juicio estético. Cosa que nos permite plantearnos ciertas preguntas.
¿Al no haber reglas comunes cada uno se las puede construir a su “gusto”?
¿las reglas son una fabricación de marcos teóricos realizados a la medida del valor que se quiere dar a las obras de arte?
¿Los teóricos son los fabricantes de estrellas o de estrellados en nuestra historia del Arte?
¿Quien crea la obra?
¿Quién crea la historia?.
