In 2018 the Wormhole Vesseldata project comes to light, two large site-specific works inserted in Palazzo Camozzini, in Verona.The Vesseldata sculpture is a work conceived as an environmental extroversion of its archetype pictorial – the Stargate Sun – and exemplification of the Einsteinian Wormhole.

In 2019, inspired by the “photo of the century” of the M87 black hole, Kroll was born, a site specific installation by wooden monoliths covered with minerals and graphite suspended around a black hole.He presents a first prototype of 9 cubic meters in a tobacco dryer in the Verona area,collaborating with the architect Nico Sandri who takes care of the museography of the project and with Paolo Piaser which creates an interactive electro-acoustic composition as a breath of the universe. Kroll is currently in evolution, study and experimentation are still going on.Between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 the relationship with the gallery owner Riccardo Steccanella is consolidated of the Kromya Art Gallery in Verona and Lugano begins a cycle of exhibitions which culminates with the solo show in Verona, in the same gallery where he presents his new research in the field of sculpture.

He travels to Brazil as a guest at the Vitoria Stone Fair 2023 in the city of the same name to learn more in depth the raw materials of this country which boasts the largest geodiversity of the world and begins to experiment with painting through the use of minerals. “For years and increasingly I have been thinking that the artist should focus on what not even the science has still been able to explain, roll its eyes or research into the infinitely small.” Say Federico Ferrarini.

2023 is a fruitful year for the research and creation of new works in the sculptural field.The artist enters into a collaboration with an important reality in the marble field, Atelier Marmo, after meeting the visionary entrepreneur Matteo Passaretta. From here on, an important phase of study of the stone begins directly in the places of extraction. In May 2023, Ferrarini presents new sculptures, also site-specific, in the historic headquarters of the Olivetti company in Ivrea, Torino, with a project called Quadrifonia, curated by Angelo Crespi and Andrea Daffra.In November 2023 he then exhibited his new sculptures in Rome in the prestigious Congress Center known as La Nuvola, designed by the architect Massimiliano Fuksas.
