Armado, 2010, Galeria Progetti
“Armado” is a sculpture made for the touch. Every gest and its intesity makes the net react in sound, amplifying its own structure.
This installation inverts the female voice to male and vice-versa. There, couples can discover new ways of communicating verbally.
A person is asked to dance to a song she does not know. This improvisation is recorded in video and is then shown to the person who danced. She then has to copy her own improvisation without sound, and this new movements are again recorded. The new video – a mimesis of the original improvisation – is again shown to the dancer. These procedure is repeated three times, producing four videos – one is the original dance and three are sucessive copies of it.
This work was inspired by “I am Sitting in a Room” by the composer Alvin Lucier, 1969.
