Mariangela Ciccarello’s practice explores the fissures or ruptures, which allow imagination and reality to communicate, in order to create a wider space of possibilities where new paradigms can take form. In such a fluid territory, questions of gender, as well as race, class, mobility, resistance to war and capitalism, can be reformulated differently from models of exclusion that predominate in the world today.

"The four corners of the hexagon." The essence of a well-known polygon, its applications and appropriations, are explored through geometry, history and cinema. Polygons are everywhere, or, rather, everywhere is a polygon.

A young woman investigates an island’s geologic specificity, discovering hidden strata where history and memory meet barely submerged narratives of displacement and imaginaries of possible futures.

An example of a very extended practice in New York City, a city where apparently there is no place anymore for low income and working class people. The detention of Josh and Amron Israel opens a space for hope

Combining high definition and Super 8 footage, Lampedusa is composed of interwoven narratives based on a series of real events. In 1831, a volcanic island suddenly erupted from the sea a few kilometers off the southern coast of Sicily. An international dispute ensued, as a number of European powers laid claim to this newfound “land”. The island receded below sea level six months later, leaving only a rocky ledge under the sea…

Five people are connected through an apocryphal story: a decade ago, a group of anarchists from the U.S. stole Leon Trotsky’s ashes from their resting place in Mexico. This central narrative is articulated through those of a Mexican activist lawyer, a Greek professional couple, a Tunisian journalist and a Kurdish student. Each has some connection to international networks of solidarity and activism, which, for some, are now in the past. Filmed in New York, Marseille, and Athens, their separate recollections converge in a portrait of the tensions between the personal and the political today.
