Cuccchi: Enzo Cucchi's Archive Becomes an Exploratory Video Game
An innovative video game titled Cucchi has emerged from Enzo Cucchi's archive, created by Fantastico Studio in collaboration with Argentine developer Julián Palacios. Initiated in 2020 during the pandemic, the project was sparked by Alessandro Cucchi's recognition of the need for a more captivating digital representation. This immersive first-person experience comprises seven levels, crafted from a multitude of images from the archive, enabling players to explore environments rich with Cucchi's motifs. Players can collect floating eyes to access high-definition visuals and documentation. The game is freely accessible online and across multiple platforms, with plans to enhance levels to twelve. The Archivio Enzo Cucchi was founded under Ida Gianelli at Castello di Rivoli, returning to Rome post her departure in 2008.
