Liturgica is a visual journey unfolding like a hallucination: sequences flowing, shifting, dissolving, without beginning or end. Bodies, animals, matter, everything is immersed in a stream resembling water: alive, unpredictable, sacred. The images drift like in a lucid dream: birds, whales, dolphins, horses, and human figures rise and vanish, suspended between flesh and vapor, between the sacred and the digital. A theatricality, liturgical, pervades the scene.

The subjects seem at times to dance, at times to wrestle with an invisible force that passes through and reshapes them. A force that is not external but an integral part of them like water, like nature, like technology which, as a human creation, belongs to us.
The illusion of separation makes us lose control: only by recognizing it as ours can we truly navigate it.

The artist guides the continuous transformation of the work, colors the vision, recomposes the chaos. Liturgica does not celebrate the autonomy of machines, but rather the responsibility and power of human beings to shape them, to chart their course, to take ownership of their own future.

Like water, AI has no will of its own: it is we who build the ships, who choose how to cross it. Inspired by the language of contemporary theater, the work moves between dream and ritual, vision and control, within a mental landscape in constant flux.

“We are nature,
we are technology,
we are artifice.
And we can also be wonder.”

– Giuseppe Lo Schiavo

Liturgica opened the program of Galleria Deloitte in Milan, inside the evocative deconsecrated church of San Paolo Converso.
