A permanent work Three ‘Similar’ Rooms at Galleria Giorgio Persano (Turin, 1990 – present) deals less explicitly with plausibility and concerns more orientation through sound color. Each room is saturated with perfectly audible sounds whose variation one encounters fluidly when passing through doorways. The three sonorities are in fact made of two – one for each side room and then combined in the middle, though it is impossible to separate the two from the mixture. A visual analogy would be painting individual rooms all yellow, blue, and green respectively, except that the image flattens the dimensional qualities extended with sound. The physical likeness and continuity between rooms gets undermined with each transition into a differently colored aural space, over time accentuating a nuanced dialogue with other sounds, like the street noises passing through the shared windowed wall.
