#Circuiti originated from a workshop and is part of a larger project entitled OBEY, which explores femininity and the concept of disobedience. The entire project branches out in different directions, each with its own thematic focus. In #Circuiti, the central theme is the “closed system”, developed here in linear drawings and synchronised relationships. It starts from an idea of confined energy with the aim of finding openings and generating out-of-focus areas.
​
The circuit is a path traced in space that shows us a possible itinerary to follow. If the beginning and end coincide at the same point, the circuit is said to be closed and appears as a continuous flow, without junctions or interruptions. It is possible to travel along it several times, without stopping, and with the help of an initial push, it can also be traversed by inertia, as long as the energy allows us to do so. The circuit is delimited by a perimeter line that outlines its contours and protects its boundaries, containing the elements within it. However, for the circuit to function, it is necessary for each component to behave according to the rules, in a coordinated and unidirectional manner, in order to avoid deviations from the path or accidents of various kinds. In this way, the circuit will achieve maximum effectiveness.
