On the occasion of Giornata del Contemporaneo, the Garuzzo Foundation will present on October 7th 2023 Gestures, an artwork by the artist David Reimondo, realized in collaboration with the ENS-Ente Nazionali Sordi. The work originates from his Etymography series, the result of an intellectual effort to give a new graphic sign and a new vocal sound to the meanings of the words that man uses to communicate.
Volunteers from the ENS freely reinterpreted these symbols, creating a new linguistic variant of the artist's work, which is useful for enhancing and exalting the non-verbal aspect of language, highlighting the gestural aspect that we often put aside. The work consists of a one-minute video in which the subjects involved translate a sentence suggested by the artist according to their sensitivity and imagination.
