Threshold is an installation visible both outside and inside. It looks like a parallelepiped surrounded externally by shelves where hundreds of different boxes are stored and assembled together: ideal containers of the person's daily life. Inside the installation a reflective threshold overlooks a deep corridor, an orderly linear perspective leads to infinity. At first, the viewer sees himself reflected on the mirror, then, the image dissolves, leaving room for the emptiness of the central perspective. Here, a hiss accompanies and dilates the dissolution of the image of the person in the empty internal space.
