Descrizione

For the International Day of the Contemporary it was decided to open online access to "Prospettiva Cielo" and the performance "Colonne Fluttuanti" on the site dedicated to the Query project. The instability of the Material”.
For the contemporary art project "Query", the contemporary dancer Rossana Abritta practices a ritual before accessing and carrying out her performance in the "Prospettiva cielo" installation by Mauro Staccioli, in the Hypermaremma
area.
We read in an interesting passage from L'Ardore by Roberto Calasso that men see us from 1500 BC. they were obsessed with ritual. “They wanted to think, they wanted to be aware of thinking exemplary when making a gesture. They wanted to live only in certain states of consciousness, with attention, which transmits its meaning to the gesture, and to think about brahaman, the extreme of everything and be brahman."
“I ask permission – he says – from the objects, from nature, from the space I am about to use, to enter into harmony with the matter and immateriality of the place - non-place. I listen to the wind, the sun, the air temperature; I touch the metals, the stone, I try to perceive as many vibrations to be welcomed. Not to disturb but also not to be disturbed by the elements, while I express my work through the body".
The Vedic axiom – again in L'Ardore – is in fact the belief that in every act the visible acts on the invisible and that above all the invisible acts on the visible. The realm of the mind and the realm of the palpable communicate continuously.
There is still an element of the preparation of Abritta's performance that recalls the Vedic ritual: it consists in drawing lines between the elements, with a stick, or a branch and preparing a neutral, unprejudiced surface, sweeping away the past from the scene. An opus ritual that starts from scratch, for every gesture of any beginning.

In the contemporary world, the sculptural installation becomes a place. Being able to create a performance within it is a significant and symbolic fact. In the case of the Land Art installation “Prospettiva Cielo”, Hypermaremma renders the intangible beauty of the landscape with the contemporary language of the corten steel installation composed of three slender pyramidal totems pointing to the sky. Rossana Abritta's performance, in the QUERY project created by Daniela Zannetti for Lazio Contemporaneo 22 with Artisti in Transito, is inserted into the work by accessing the scene with the tensions of the body evolving between balance and non-balance.
These are the "permissions" that recall the theme of GDC20. The same audience at the event was finally absorbed by the installation, by the questions on the materials and the immaterial of the Query concept, inhabiting, the place, the non-place, the space and the scene.
