I ask my 90-year-old grandfather, Giordano Bruno, to play bocce (bowls) with me, an activity that he used to play every day. In the video, we play with new rules, keeping the winner and the color of the gamers, unknown.  Using many bowls and possibilities as a metaphor of different choices in life.

I wanted to focus on the heritage, secret identification and distance in human relationships and family traditions. This artwork is an investigation on the meaning of the name, as a symbol of identification.
