Respiro Votivo is an attempt to understand her breathing condition in relation to the unregulated toxic output of cement factories in her hometown. Working with archival footage of protests performed over the last 20 years, she recognises and questions an inherited vision of political action, proposing new healing rituals as alternative forms of resistance. Referring to Italian magic traditions where illness is perceived as a domination of forces that threatens individual presence, true healing can only be achieved when the psychic reintegrates with the physical. Through this installation, Miazzi presents her own rituals which are based on a process of detachment from her body to establish new ways of inhabiting it.
