VOICE IN TIME
English
The Voice of Time — Short Summary
The Voice of Time explores how vegetal matter can act as an active agent in the formation of contemporary rupestrian surfaces. Through processes of drying, pressing, inclusion and mineral stratification, leaves and organic membranes become archives of their own temporalities. Rather than representing nature, the work collaborates with its material behaviours—contraction, fracture, porosity, sedimentation—allowing time to manifest as a visible force.
The project develops a replicable organo‑mineral protocol that transforms vegetal elements into “fossils of the present,” generating surfaces where the organic becomes geological and the ephemeral becomes material memory. Positioned within contemporary artistic ecologies, the research proposes the artwork as an ecosystem of relations between matter, process and temporality.

- I am Giuseppe Rametta (Giusirames), an artist and independent researcher (ORCID 0009-0000-8253-3721), and a member of AIAPI/UNESCO and SAR. My practice, defined as Artistic Hydro-Stratification, explores the solidification of ephemeral elements—such as seawater and stardust—into "living canvases." I investigate the memory of matter by transforming natural phenomena into optically active sculptural surfaces. An award-winning artist (Golden Lion for Visual Arts 2025, Leaders Prize NY 2024), my work has been recognized by institutions including MoMA and Studio Olafur Eliasson. I document the convergence of innovation and environmental inquiry on academic platforms like the Research Catalogue, redefining the boundary between artistic gesture an

Further information on the project presentation:
"The proposed presentation focuses on the technical and aesthetic process of material synthesis, specifically the transition of liquid elements into solid artistic mediums. As an artist, I develop my own material mixes to achieve the solidification of oil and seawater, creating a unique 'solid sea' canvas.
The accompanying Research Catalogue (RC) exposition is designed as a 15-minute visual and technical journey through these chemical-artistic transitions. It documents the stability and texture of the resulting surfaces, including the integration of metallic elements (such as stainless steel) within the solidified layers.
During the presentation, I intend to discuss the methodology behind these original mixes and, if logistically feasible, provide physical samples for a tactile and visual assessment of the material’s evolution."

Spatial and Technical Requirements:
Space: A standard presentation room with a sturdy table or plinth to display physical samples of solidified oil and seawater.
Lighting: Strong, direct lighting (preferably adjustable) to highlight the textures, transparency, and metallic reflections (stainless steel elements) within the material mixes.
AV Equipment: * Digital projector and screen for the Research Catalogue exposition.
HDMI connection for a laptop.
Stable Wi-Fi

Potential Risks or Ethical Concerns:
Material Stability: The original material mixes used for the solidification of oil and seawater are chemically stable once cured. There are no risks of leakage or off-gassing during the presentation.
Safety of Handling: The physical samples, including those incorporating stainless steel elements, are non-toxic and safe for tactile inspection by the audience.
Environmental Impact: The research focuses on the "solidification of the sea" as a conc
