The Moons is a video that should have been part of a larger, realised project We used to call it: Moon. It consists of five short films which are almost drafts. The same scene is shot from the same standpoint, but with different lights and background music. In this scene, a strange landscape is composed of small sculptures that look like monuments. Two wooden spheres move and change position, representing the two moons of the title.

The Room is a film created by Marko Tadić using stop motion animation technique, but it was abandoned by the artist during the editing phase. The video represents a seance, or rather what happens in the room after everyone has left. The animation reveals furniture and objects moving, candles burning down, light effects and flashes similar to explosions, and the appearance of figures - toys and knick-knacks. In the closing scene, a small pottery cat looks into the fixed camera and in the background we can see the almost destroyed room.

This project started from the interest of the artists around the village of San Damiano, near Piacenza, the birthplace of Simone Bertuzzi and Simone Trabucchi. This area hosts both a NATO military base and a sanctuary dedicated to an apparition of the Virgin Mary during the early 1960s: this research was born from an attention focused both on the sound produced by the warplanes' exercises and the nature of the military space, and on the collective religious imagination, in search of a possible dialogue and common points, in the context of a small village alongside the Po Valley.

The first version of the project took the form of a documentary based on several interviews and filming of the surrounding landscape: at this stage just two trailers were produced, based on two interviews, and a parallel version was conceived as a live media performance composed of two video projections and a live soundtrack. In 2007, after a first stop decided by the artists themselves, the project was rethought as an installation on two screens, where they could have worked with loops and small variations, starting from shorter narrative models. This also included two structures for the vision of the films and an ambient soundtrack. In addition, during the research, the artists had the opportunity to confront themselves with the artist William Xerra - who was born in Piacenza too - who in 1976 staged Le Apparizioni (Verifica del Miracolo) in San Damiano, a piece related to the Marian apparitions in the area, which included as witnesses figures such as Pierre Restany, Renato Barilli and Vanni Scheiwiller.

While being used by Invernomuto in several presentations, publications, showcases and works - with images and references - Noises from Above has never reached a final form and has never been completed: still today the artists consider it stuck in a standby phase.

This project moves from the interest of the artist in the map - a recurring theme inside his research - and wants to explore this form of historical representation with tattoos, a declared fascination of Runo Lagomarsino: in fact his idea was to invite several tattooists from all around the world to draw a world map, and in particular “a personal interpretation of the world map”, without any limit or rule.

This work, that has never been realized, could be seen as part of a series of practices through which the artist “examines how we come to know and speak about the conflicting geographies and temporalities of power”, investigating the map as way to measure, represent and control a territory, that contains in itself several contradictory truths and is strictly connected with an ideology, a vision or a point of view. In particular the use of metaphors and representations to study political and social environments here is declined through the potential multiple authorship of the tattooists that could have drawn the maps, and through the introduction of a technique usually connected with the idea of traveling and with the concept of identity. The tattoo, here a personal interpretation of something usually considered fixed, could have been another mean aimed at “the investigation of the historiographic, geographic and mathematical models that helped to ensure the colonialist domination of the world by Western modernity”.

The project was part of a series of works focusing on representation, but the artist abandoned it because he was busy on other works and moreover he saw at Venice Biennale 2013 a similar project, Still the Same Place by Petra Feriancová and Zbyněk Baladrán inside the Czech pavilion.
