es, that anyway belong to our existing. trasformations and cellular replacement are often not gradual processes: they go trough sudden phases, interrupted at times by moments of quiet, silence...and so for the perception we have of the metamorphosy that is happening.
On stage one body builds interaction frames with the images projected on the skin.

EX
EX is thought to be performed in a theater or as a SITE SPECIFIC-URBAN PERFORMANCE .
In this last case a dark place is needed (it’s enough proposing the piece to the public during the evening, in a not illuminated space) for the video projected on the skin to be seen.
An appropriate urban space (3m. x 4m. minimum) with a wall or something like behind is required.
The nature of the video projection allows the body to get into a metamorphosy which is giving different suggestions, according to the environment and the materials (organic, inorganic, ecc.) that are surronding the performer.
It’s also possible to perform in nature, with leaves, bushes, branches or natural elements behind the body, so that it can be absorbed by the natural elements and became part of them in it’s transformation.
IN SIDE OUT is a SITE SPECIFIC VIDEO INSTALLATION ON WATER,
thought as a cut in the earth, reminding to an earthquake result or a cleft in the ice.The earth gets excavated and the hole which opens gets filled with water, with the help of a plastic sheet that doesn’t allow the water to be absorbed.
On this water is projected a video about a woman dancing during her last period of pregnancy: it’s an improvisation recorded with x-ray, in the silence of a dark room, reminding to what’s happening inside the woman’s body and inside the earth at the very beginning of things, before it germinates. A sort of genesis.
The cut in the earth is the giving birth, the beginning of something new, the pain, fecondity, sex, life that pushes from the inside.
The video installation doesn’t need a particularly invasive intervention on the environment, the excavation can also be of a small proportion, depending from the specific situation. The video doesn’t have any sound, and have a 21 minutes duration repeted in a loop.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
-video projector
-the possibility to protect the video projector from eventual rain
It’s a project for a SITE SPECIFIC VIDEO INSTALLATION ON SALT, where a dancer embodies fancy worlds and landscapes, like a dream of an undernature which lives inside the body substituting organs, skeleton and blood.
Like a fluxus of images that travels in an unconscious state of mind becoming sensation and self perception of the living body: the vision of a microcosm reflecting an imaginery macrocosm.
Salt is an inorganic element totally connected to organic life, you find it in water, and dry it in the sun, it’s integrated in the human body and in nature outside as well. We are more or less for the 70% made of water, we eat salt, it gives taste, we need it to live…like we need the dream.
Salt and dream belong to the inner life of living things.
The video installation can be projected indoor or outdoor on SALT.
Several kilos of salt are needed -depending in quantity from the specific situation- to be put on ground, grass, paviment, etc…
The best situation for it is to create an inclined surface with the ground outside, or with a support in an inside space.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
