SEI is a 12 minutes sound installation designed for the empty rooms of Casa Esagono by Vittorio Giorgini (a place for family occasions but also a convivial setting for many artist friends) to evoke the presence of the brilliant Tuscan architect and to bring the experiences and everyday life of many summers spent in Baratti back to the house’s architecture. 

«This project originates from the experience of SSS – SUONO STUDIO SAVIOLI, the sound intervention curated in December 2017 by Tempo Reale with Fondazione Michelucci and the Region of Tuscany within the study of the renowned Tuscan architect Vittorio Giorgini, providing a new perceptual experience of the architectural space. This originated the idea to operate on Casa Esagono in the same manner, creating sonifications for each room based on the thoughts, the ideas, and the considerations of Vittorio Giorgini, collected thanks to a series of sound documents available in his own archives. His voice, collected from various recordings, tells of Baratti and of his unusual holiday home amongst the trees, a family meeting place but also a friendly encounter place for artists such as Roberto Sebastian Matta and Gordon Matta Clark, Emilio Villa and Isamu Noguchi, Aurelio Ceccarelli and André Bloc, Corrado Cagli, and Emilio Vedova.
