Forced simulation project is a photographic project in which I recreated different sets through the use of plastic sheeting. Individuals are covered with them to the point of unrecognisability or surrounded by them to the point of immobility, accompanied by the omnipresent element of fake eyes.
With this project, I intend to highlight a forced automatism in the way we see ourselves and our neighbour, a blurring of the gaze that covers the individual and social dimension, exposing the condition of contemporary imprisonment that chains us to a designated role.
It analyzes collective and individual spaces under two strands: "Anonymization of the Self," blue-toned photographs depicting the relationship to the role in which we wrap ourselves to protect our fragility, thus enacting a denial and detachment of the self that forces the individual to wear his role as the only way to be able to see himself. "Forcing the self" red-toned photographs conveying the sense of tension and danger one feels toward others, the result of a society that breeds distrust. Always vigilant one observes and is observed, victims and executioners of a mechanism that deprives the authentic and turn each individual into a camera.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Veronica Signorini was born in 2001 in Milan and lives in Arenzano (GE)
Driven to seek change and new challenges after a life that has never been static and eight transfers behind her, she has always followed the line of art, from art school to the Academy of Fine Arts in Sanremo where she is currently completing her studies in graphics and illustration. She completed her internship at AS Art Studio where she is currently assistant to artist Anna Skoromnaya.
Her works deal with the certainties to which human beings cling and their reference measures within our contemporary society and how they radically alter the way we perceive ourselves and our fellow human beings. It then investigates how contemporary society exploits this need for measures to its advantage, building a world where they become walls that obstruct. He thus wants to unmask the unstable supports that are relied upon such as false images, individualism, social pressures, sources of tension, loss of contact with reality, distrust and erosion of expressive spaces. He works with two-dimensional mediums such as drawing and photography.
