La mia opera VIDEO FLIES (LESS SKIN), è stata selezionata per prendere parte al progetto RAW incontra Miami New Media Festival, in occasione del XVI Miami New Media Festival. Il percorso espositivo delle opere video selezionate si è concluso, i video sono stati esposti e presentati al pubblico a: Miami, Caracas, Maracaibo e in Italia.

“Il MNMF 2021 ha promosso una riflessione sul contributo che l’arte può dare alla nuova realtà: come può la new media art essere uno strumento per sormontare un mondo sconvolto da una pandemia?

Le espressioni artistiche sono una risposta al nostro presente. Negli ultimi due anni il mondo si è fermato: la pausa ha provocato la creazione di numerosi prodotti artistici che esplorano ciò che abbiamo vissuto, affrontando il cambiamento della realtà di tutti i giorni che ha portato le persone a adattarsi a nuovi ritmi, regole, modi di approcciarsi al prossimo.
Il Miami New Media Festival attraverso dunque il tema “New Media Art e la pandemia”, ha raccolto e condiviso opere di video art per far riflettere su questo periodo difficile e aiutarci ad ottenere il meglio da una situazione così complessa.”

Flies / less skin

Flies (less skin) © 2021











“In noi ignoto e selve





di pelle appena coperti”…





[La cipolla, Wislawa Szymborska]







Protagonista della piece performativa, è un personaggio immaginario in mutazione, dalle sembianze di un’eroina uscita da  un film di fantascienza degli anni ’60 /’70, ricoperto di corazze e stratificazioni epiteliali dotate di vie sensoriali alternative, che sviluppa un’avversione per l’ambiente naturale e sociale. Questo stato confusionale lo condurrà a una crisi d’identità più profonda. 





 “La capacità di restare dentro questa pelle fatta di squame                           una muta di sopravvivenza…con questa pelle non si sente quasi più          nulla.”                                                                                                                         





“La possibilità di rinascere dalle proprie fragilità…consegnandosi
all’amore, che ti strappa la pelle”. 





Una tensione opposta, determinata da desideri contrastanti, ha generato un cortocircuito della volontà:                                                                    





 < trovare una via d’uscita, come farebbe un insetto rimasto imprigionato fra le mura di un’abitazione, o lasciarsi andare alla paralisi della volontà e del libero arbitrio? >





Nelle situazioni più estreme, che modificano in qualche modo la nostra idea di progresso, inteso anche come passo, ritmo, mood, avviene che la nostra parte più istintiva prenda il sopravvento.
Qualcuno preferisce non osservare – osservarsi, per timore di non riconoscersi, di subire il giudizio esterno, perdere i riferimenti che rappresentano la nostra comfort zone. 





Taluni invece, vivono il travaglio della mutazione e del cambiamento che ne segue, senza compromessi, correndo anche il rischio di divenire voce fuori dal coro, quindi aliena. Ipnotizzante e positivamente angosciante, fa pensare all’incertezza del futuro della specie umana. Siamo arrivati ad un momento cruciale? 





Diventeremo macchine, o vincerà la natura umana di chi non vuole arrendersi? Mentre mi dibatto fra queste polarità estreme, muto giorno dopo giorno la mia pelle in corazza ma divengo anche consapevole di perderla. Ricercando una rinnovata umanità.





(F.B.)









The protagonist of the performative piece is an imaginary character in mutation, with the appearance of a heroine out of a science fiction film of the 60s / 70s, covered with armor and epithelial stratifications endowed with alternative sensory pathways, who develops an aversion to natural and social environment. This confusion will lead him to a deeper identity crisis.                          “The ability to stay inside this skin made of silent survival scales … with this skin you hardly feel anything anymore.”                                           “The possibility of being reborn from one’s frailties … surrendering oneself to love, which tears your skin”





An opposite tension, satisfied by conflicting desires, has generated a short-circuit of the will: to find a way out, as would an insect imprisoned within the walls of a house, or to let oneself go to the paralysis of the will and free will? In the most extreme situations, which in some way modify our idea of ​​progress, also understood as pace, rhythm, mood, it happens that our most instinctive part takes over. Someone prefers not to observe – to observe oneself, for fear of not recognizing oneself, immediately the external judgment, losing the references that say our comfort zone. Some, on the other hand, experience the travail of mutation and the change that follows, without compromise, also running the risk of coming out of the chorus, alien. Mesmerizing and positively distressing, it suggests the uncertainty of the future of the human species. Have we arrived at a crucial moment? Will we become machines, or will the human nature of those who do not want to surrender win? As I struggle between these extreme polarities, I change my skin into armor day after day but I also become aware of losing it. Seeking a renewed humanity.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PROJECT ON FEMALE NAKED


My Nude Female Vision begins with a need: Searching for sensations and perceptions of self through the appropriation of one’s own body.

In my shots the nakedness appears contracted and implosed, turned and returned to an interior; it is not an expansion of a body that is displayed, but a revelation of a being and of what it hides. Of a mystical body, which encloses a clot of mystery. Self-portraying postponement of a fracture …

Indeed, today, more than ever, in a society that has dissected and subdivided the material dimension from the spiritual one, nudity has become an expression of a taxed and inculcated identity through devious patterns in which women are not recognized and increasingly refuse .

An “expropriated” identity, driven by the fullness of its integrity, of its role in the natural order of things.

So in my shots the search is just that of an original, untouched original – almost biblical – still in tension between purity and corruption.

Δελτίο τύπου


Το ετήσιο Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Βίντεο Ποίησης θα διεξαχθεί για έκτη φορά στην Αθήνα την Παρασκευή 19 και το Σάββατο 20/1/2018. Στο σύνολο τους, περισσότερα από 2500 άτομα παρακολούθησαν το φεστιβάλ τα προηγούμενα χρόνια.


Το διήμερο φεστιβάλ περιλαμβάνει προβολές 67 βιντεο-ποιημάτων, ένα είδος της video art με πολύ μεγάλη ανάπτυξη τα τελευταία χρόνια όπου σκηνοθέτες και video artists συνεργάζονται με ποιητές και λογοτέχνες ώστε να παράγουν οπτική ποίηση, video art, βίντεο κολάζ, animations και ποιήματα-ταινίες μικρού μήκους. Το ετήσιο International Video Poetry Festival της Αθήνας προβάλλοντας μια κινηματογραφική ποιητική γλώσσα εξαιρετικής ποιότητας από την Αμερική, την Ασία, την Ευρώπη, την Αυστραλία και την Αφρική έχει καταξιωθεί ανάμεσα στα σημαντικότερα φεστιβάλ του συγκεκριμένου είδους στον κόσμο.


Προσκεκλημένοι από διάφορες χώρες (Ιρλανδία, Ρωσία, Γερμανία, Μεγάλη Βρετανία) θα επισκεφθούν το φετινό φεστιβάλ για να παρουσιάσουν τα έργα τέχνης τους στο Θέατρο Εμπρός. Αναγνωρισμένοι καλλιτέχνες – ποιητές, video artists, performers, χορευτές, σκηνοθέτες, παραγωγοί και μουσικά σχήματα. Επίσης το φεστιβάλ περιλαμβάνει μια ολόκληρη μέρα παρουσίασης της εγχώριας νέας γενιάς ποιητών σε ζωντανούς αυτοσχεδιασμούς με video artists και μουσικούς, μια σειρά από performances, όπως επίσης μια έκθεση βιβλίου και δύο διήμερες βίντεο εγκαταστάσεις από την Ιρλανδική ομάδα Open Night Cinema και τον Κώστα Παπακώστα.


Το Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Βίντεο Ποίησης 2017 επιχειρεί να δημιουργήσει έναν ανοιχτό δημόσιο χώρο για τη δημιουργική έκφραση όλων των τάσεων και των ρευμάτων της σύγχρονης οπτικής ποίησης.


Είναι πολύ σημαντικό να παρατηρήσετε ότι αυτό το φεστιβάλ είναι μέρος των ευρύτερων καλλιτεχνικών δραστηριοτήτων του Ινστιτούτου Πειραματικών Τεχνών, της συλλογικότητας Κενό Δίκτυο και του Ελεύθερου Αυτοδιαχειριζόμενου Θεάτρου Εμπρός. Μέρος του μη εμπορευματικού και μη κερδοσκοπικού χαρακτήρα του φεστιβάλ είναι η ανοιχτή δωρεάν είσοδος σε όλους. Το φεστιβάλ δεν έχει χορηγούς ή χρηματοδοτήσεις και θα καλύψει τα έξοδα ενοικίασης υψηλής ποιότητας τεχνικού εξοπλισμού, φιλοξενίας των καλλιτεχνών από το εξωτερικό και διαφήμισης από τα έσοδα του bar του φεστιβάλ και την ελεύθερη συνεισφορά των θεατών. Όλοι οι συμμετέχοντες καλλιτέχνες και οι οργανωτικές ομάδες θα συμμετέχουν εθελοντικά και αφιλοκερδώς στο φεστιβάλ.


Το Κενό Δίκτυο ξεκίνησε να διοργανώνει multi media βραδιές ποίησης το 1990. Το Ινστιτούτο Πειραματικών Τεχνών και το Κενό Δίκτυο θεωρούν ότι οι εκδηλώσεις ποίησης και βιντεοποίησης μπορούν να επιδρούν στην καρδιά της Μητρόπολης φέρνοντας νέα ακροατήρια σε επαφή με τη σύγχρονη ποίηση και ανοίγοντας νέες δημιουργικές διαστάσεις για αυτήν την αρχαία τέχνη. Για να το πετύχουμε αυτό, σεβόμαστε και ενδυναμώνουμε τις φιλοδοξίες και τους στόχους των καλλιτεχνών, δημιουργούμε υψηλής ποιότητας εκθεσιακούς χώρους παρουσίασης των εκδηλώσεων, διοργανώνουμε εκδηλώσεις στον δημόσιο χώρο, συνεργαζόμαστε με επαγγελματίες τεχνικούς και προσφέρουμε σημεία συνάντησης και πεδία έκφρασης για καλλιτέχνες και ανθρώπους που τείνουν να υπερβούν την μαζική κουλτούρα και την βιομηχανία της Τέχνης.


Θα θέλαμε να ευχαριστήσουμε τον Dave Bonta από το Moving Poems (http://movingpoems.org), ένα παγκόσμιο site παρουσίασης των σημαντικότερων βιντεοποιήματων της εποχής μας στο διαδίκτυο, ο οποίος με το έργο τους μας ενέπνευσε να δημιουργήσουμε το Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Βίντεο Ποίησης στην Αθήνα και με τον οποίο συνεργαζόμαστε από το 2012 για να διαδώσουμε το Φεστιβάλ και να έρθουμε σε επαφή με τους καλλιτέχνες από όλο τον κόσμο.

SENSUAL LUMINA Πασχάλης Χατζητρύφωνας. Μαρία Στεφανίδου

SENSUAL LUMINA είναι μηχανή. Δημιουργήθηκε για να προσφέρει διασκέδαση, απόλαυση, ικανοποίηση. Σχεδιάστηκε για να προσαρμόζεται στις εξατομικευμένες ανάγκες του κατόχου της, επιδεικνύοντας “έξυπνη”λειτουργικότητα και ικανότητα μάθησης κατά τη διάρκεια χρήσης της. Διαθέτει πέντε προγράμματα λειτουργιών, που εναλλάσσονται εύκολα χάρη στον εργονομικό σχεδιασμό της. Μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί ατομικά από ένα χρήστη ή συλλογικά από ομάδα περισσότερων χρηστών. H performance χρησιμοποιεί το ένδυμα SensoLumina* ως μέσο για να αναφερθεί στην αντικειμενοποίηση των θυμάτων trafficking που μεταβάλλονται σε εργαλεία σεξουαλικής ικανοποίησης. Η έκπτωση από την ανθρώπινη υπόσταση οδηγεί σε εξίσωση με έξυπνα τεχνολογικά προϊόντα, σχεδιασμένα κατ’ εικόνα των χρηστών τους, που όμως δεν υπερβαίνουν το σκοπό της χρήσης τους.


 2 DAYS VIDEO INSTALLATIONS


NON SEQUITUR Kostas Papakostas UK at first floor

He lives and works in London, UK

Το Non Sequitur (σημ. ‘χωρίς λογικό ειρμό’) είναι ένα video installation που αφηγείται ένα οικογενειακό πορτρέτο μέσω διαδοχικών επαναλαμβανόμενων διαλόγων που προέρχονται από τηλεφωνικές συνομιλίες μεταξύ του καλλιτέχνη και των γονέων του, που ζουν σε διαφορετικές χώρες για περισσότερο απο 20 χρόνια. 

Κάθε σειρά βίντεο έχει καταγραφεί σε διαφορετικό χρόνο και χώρο πριν τοποθετηθεί το ένα δίπλα στο άλλο για να παράγει μια αναρίθμητη σειρά απρόβλεπτων και χωρίς ειρμό διαλόγων με τήν βοήθεια μίας βιντεογεννήτριας (video generator engine). 

Το Non Sequitur εξερευνά την δυναμική των οικογενιακών σχέσεων ενώ παράλληλα αμφισβητεί έννοιες της ανθρώπινης σύνδεσης μέσω της λεκτικής επικοινωνίας, αποκαλύπτοντας τόσο την ανεπάρκεια των λέξεων όσο και την βαθύτητα των τετριμμένων.

ARTIST STATEMENT

‘Living abroad for the past 20 years, communication with my family has been limited to brief occasional telephone conversations.

Over the years, these conversations have become an automatic  sequence of short, repetitive sentences exchanged between us, which make us feel safe in their familiarity. And yet these dialogues, and the spaces between them, often convey thoughts and emotions that the distance hasn’t allowed to unravel, mature and resolve.

Instead they repeat continuously, imprisoned in an infinite void of the machine that keeps them connected.’


ooOOOooo Open Night Cinema IRELAND in entrance

Born in June 2015 Open Night Cinema is a live cinematic entity that lives, breathes and sleeps throughout the industrial landscapes of Dublin City, Ireland. ONC primarily feeds on improvised live art events blurring the lines between cinematic exhibitions, musical and theatrical performance and art installation. These events are intended to rupture and transform the space outside the projected frame, breathing new life into the cinematic experience.

Bucharest International Dance Film Festival

2016


Un invito dalla Romania: La selezione e partecipazione del mio video “CORPUS PROPHETIAS” all’esposizione di video installazioni nella futuristica Galleria Galateca, nell’ambito del (BIDFF) II Bucharest International Dance Film Festival che si terrà a Bucharest in Romania dal 9 al 13 novembre.


Ringrazio i curatori per aver inserito il mio video tra le nove proposte che hanno superato la selezione tra tutte quelle giunte da ogni parte del mondo e di poter far parte dell’evento.

#THE DIGITAL BODY#


curators: Simona Deaconescu & Emilia Paunescu (RO)


Since the late ’40s the fine line between the body and the information begins to lose intensity. Large scientific projects promise to extract information from the human body and use engineering genetics for practical applications. Sociologist Manuel Castells talks about a city and a society as an information network. The body becomes a matrix of data, emotionally encapsulated, defragmented and decorporalized, in a constant flow of fake memories and super sensorial experimentation. Extracorporeal digital age is a reality that requires a matrix of information to replicate itself over and over again. Who are you in this environment and how do you deal with it? We are interested in promoting dance films (short and long, fictional and documentaries), video and digital installations, talks and lectures that have a strong opinion on the way the body adapts to the era of informational chaos.


EXHIBITION, LECTURES & PERFORMANCES


9 – 13 NOV @ GALATECA GALLERY


The body is a matrix of data, emotionally encapsulated, defragmented and disembodied, in a constant flow of fake memories and super sensorial experimentation. Extracorporeal digital age is a reality that requires a network of information to replicate itself over and over again. Who are you in this environment and how do you deal with it?


Artists from Germany, Italy, Finland, Great Britain and Austria present their research and digital artworks, challenging both the cognitive and the emotional system of the audience. Nine works of video art, robotics, animation, sound engineering and live performance are playfully exhibited in the futuristic space of Galateca Gallery.

Corpus Prophetias
		

						Posted on  by francescabonfatti		

	


	

		
CORPUS PROPHETIAS, Ipnotico e mantrico come una litania disciolta in fluide sequenze di movimenti istintivi, evocativi di un tempo originario e liminare – al di là e al di qua dell’inizio e della fine – (citando Foucault), il corpo come punto zero del mondo; come una danza della muta composta e raccolta nel sacro silenzio delle sue bene_dette trasforma _ azioni: Rappresentazione di impercettibili ed accelerati “battiti d’ istanti” di eternità.




Testi e poesie:

Il poeta veggente di Artur Rimbaud

In questo lago é morto il mio cuore di Francesca Bonfatti




 


I asked my body to feel

I asked my body to understand

I asked my body to dream

I asked my body to forget

I asked my body to die

I asked my body to be born

Is asked my body to disappear

I asked my body to appear

I asked my body to bury

I asked my body to awaken

I asked my body to heal

I asked my body to hope

I asked my body to remember

I asked my body to cicatrize

il mio nuovo video Scratch è tra gli 85 video “sperimentali” selezionati per la 15* edizione dell’International Image Festival a Manizales in Colombia.


È un immenso onore per me portare in un contesto di respiro internazionale e in un paese con un’anima pulsante e viscerale questo lavoro di video performing art.
