Noises from above

Noises from Above is a project that was intended to investigate the area of San Damiano, near Piacenza, the hometown of Invernomuto. It explores the coexistence of a NATO military base and a sanctuary associated with Marian apparitions in the early 1960s, focusing on the relationship between the sounds of military aircraft, religious imagery and the surrounding landscape. Initially conceived as a documentary, the project evolved through several formats, including a live audiovisual performance and a two-screen installation. The research also involved the artist William Xerra, who staged a performance in San Damiano in 1976 related to the Marian apparitions. Although footage was shot and the project was partially presented in various contexts, Noises from Above never reached a definitive form and remains, in the artists' own words, on standby.
