Belfiore has been in the past years blurring the borders of theater, choreography and visual arts in his works. Challenging modern logic thinking and social-political constructions he has touch metaphysical levels.
The performer’s presence and potentialities of the body affects are a strong characteristic of his work, using movement to alter mental states and normality. His works are intense, designed, humorous, visual and radical often arriving at places of softness, vulnerability and delicate transformation.
For this new work Belfiore is playing with projections. Projections are the presentation of an image on a surface, especially a cinema screen. Belfiore creates installations and plays psychedelic atmospheres, projecting colours, high quality paradisiac images, live recording, images for green screen and animations. But projections are also an estimate or forecast of a future situation based on a study of present trends.
Manipulating image, sounds and objects live and on the video Belfiore layers the virtual and mixes realities. As a Live Dj for his own dance Belfiore "vaporwave'' the theatrical space. The subculture surrounding vaporwave is often associated with an ambiguous or satirical take on consumer capitalism and popular culture, and tends to be characterised by a nostalgic or surrealist engagement with the popular entertainment, technology and advertising of previous decades which Belfiore bring to question our own times. Belfiore is also inspired time by the documentary "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" by Werner Herzog (2013) and the allegory of Plato's cave.
Belfiore dives deep into his unconsciousness to reveal his wild creativity and inquietudes of human conditions into his (hand)made universes.
