Florinda Ciucio (Antwerp, 1993) is a visual artist and filmmaker based between Italy and Belgium. She graduated from LUCA School of Arts in Brussels as a film director. After directing several short films, she developed an interest in video art and installation work.

Her artistic practice focuses on the creation of immersive environments using moving image and sound, examining the relationship between the nervous system and the audiovisual medium. Influenced by her background in cinema, she works with fixed frames, darkened spaces, and suspended time.

Working with time as a central element, she uses rhythm, repetition, and routine to create slow, attentive moments that highlight the process of looking, listening, and paying attention in an overstimulated visual culture.

Her current research examines our relationship to landscape and technology, creating work that functions both sensorially and critically. Through this, her work engages with landscape as a constructed and mediated space, where technological processes actively shape how reality is seen, understood, and experienced. She uses media such as film footage, CGI, AI, archival video, sound design, photography, and spatial installations.

DESCRIPTION


Guided by Amr’s voice, the film uses Madrid’s Royal Botanical Garden and its catalogued plants as an allegorical landscape to reflect on displacement and belonging.

Five years ago, Amr moved from Aleppo to Madrid. As his voice guides us through the Royal Botanical Garden of his adopted city, he walks among plants and trees collected from distant geographies—species uprooted, transported, renamed, and carefully classified. Surrounded by this ordered environment, Amr reflects on displacement, belonging, and the quiet weight of being “The Other.”
