Introducing Hidden Lives
At the end of the artistic residency of Clara Román and Tiago Branchini, members of L4R, at Casale Garibaldi, the site-specific video installation Hidden Lives will be presented on July 7 at 7 P.M. The work emerges from the artistic‑social research process developed together with the participants of the Breakfast Time project, curated by Eliad Dias Dos Santos, missionary pastor of the Evangelical Methodist Church of Rome.
Throughout the residency, artists and participants built visual narratives, shared memories, and everyday gestures transformed into images and sounds, exploring how urban policies and the architecture of the city of Rome shape the lived experiences of the people who inhabit it. The result is a piece that reveals layers of life often unseen, encounters that become landscape, and stories that turn into light.
The work was made possible with the support of the Goethe-Institut and the European Union through Culture Moves Europe.
BLOSSOMS VIDEOMAPPING
On July 2nd at 11:00 PM in Via Pesaro, Rome, we’ll project a videomapping created for the Bande de Femmes festival, transforming the façade of the building through light.
The project has been produced by L4R in collaboration with Federico Pace, Wally Pain, Eliana Albertini and Martina Sarritzu.
During the videomapping, the illustrators’ drawings will come to life, merging into a site‑specific story designed exclusively for Bande de Femmes.
The festival is a project by Libreria Tuba, carried out with the support of the Italian Ministry of Culture and SIAE, through the public program Per Chi Crea.

L4R went to Madrid to take part in the podcast Cultura con Acento, an initiative by Galaxxia in collaboration with Radio Casa Encendida, in the episode Ciberamigxs, which explores youth-led cultural projects connected to the digital and the communal. The episode was recorded together with the Valencian collective La Jeta.
We greatly enjoyed the conversation with Francesca (Nada Colectivo) and Sara and Alicia (La Jeta), a space of exchange where we were able to share ideas, perspectives, and cybercultural projects that engage with new ways of inhabiting the digital from a collective approach.
We would like to express our gratitude to Galaxxia for driving this project forward and for proposing a challenge we truly loved: representing and explaining what L4R is through a soundscape. This invitation allowed us to explore our identity through listening, memory, and experimentation.
The episode is now available on Radio Casa Encendida, and also through this link.
We encourage you to explore the rest of the episodes, which feature inspiring projects from across the territory.

Video mapping: virtualizzazione degli spazi pubblici
by Tiago Ignacio Branchini
Editor: Youcanprint2019, 132pp. ISBN: 9788831634700
The goal of this research is to examine video mapping, also known as mapped projection or simply mapping, in today's context. This technique consists in projecting a video making it coincide with the geometry of a physical reality, that is, transforming the identity of a surface into a multimedia screen equipped with new properties. This technique is very versatile adapting perfectly to different fields such as scenography, video art, video culture, installations or projections on monuments, buildings and structures. It has the ability to recreate an immersive and, at the same time, synaesthetic environment. This survey reflects, contextualizes and studies the concept of virtual and the relationship with new media, its origins and its use as a means in the context of political and social activism. To understand it better, from this perspective, the thought and some key works of the Polish artist Krzysztof Wodiczko were analyzed.
