1994-1996 Bedrooms

[...] Using an unquestionably expressionist style, which however also borrows some informal suggestions, shown in the shimmering and fibrillation of the light, Bordin employs bedrooms as a metaphor for the build-up of existential awareness and of the desire/need to be heard, adopting the tense and breathless rhythm of the deepest raison d'être. In this way the artist turns our attention back to the room, portraying it as a theater or a witness to our existence, and at the same as a 'form' of existence.

[...] However one must look to Bordin's modulation of light and signs to trace his variations in-theme, which resemble elements of a story, of an existential investigation interwoven and laced with different emotions: the sense of decay, dissolution, death, resurrecting light, sense of abandonment, escapism through dreams, solitary immersion in dreamlike and sensitive nostalgia; a reawakening of energy, a desire to-broaden the senses, of inner vibrations, of moral - if not yet physical - redemption from the snares of a human condition full of uncertainty and insecurity.
