../Matter and technique: adaptive environmental performance & installation

DESCRIPTION: An adaptive environmental performance: three characters and other sculptures silently impersonate the theatrical act depicted on a painting that has now disappeared and adorned the rooms of that palace. It is a pictorial work with environmental results, made up of independent works which, for the occasion, adapt themselves to a new spatial narrative inseparable from the place. In other words, it is the staging of a theatrical act in which the characters are ‘sculptural’. The spectator is empowered by their presence, by the void in their spatial relationship and by the imaginative projection of the story transmitted by the scene. The painting explodes becoming the presence and plan of the scene in which the spectator finds himself, invading it but unable to interact. And finally it is an Arcadian praise which fossilizes the story of the madness of love with its secularity. The hypnagogic world in which it takes place is the mirror in which the mechanisms of existence are reflected: 'what happens in the palace corresponds to what happens in the real world. The images and voices created purely by magic are nothing more than the projection of real desires.
