Cadence San Vittorino is an audio-visual project exploring how film and artistic time-based media unintentionally document ecological changes. The work involves repeated pilgrimages to the Chiesa San Vittorino, using field recordings and videos to capture seasonal and ecological transformations. Emphasizing repetition, ritual, and open-ended musical composition, the piece reframes ecological instability through a secular, nature-focused spirituality that bridges art, science, and environmental theology.
