ABOUT THE PROJECT*:

​Crisis in Art time | 1 piece of radio art + 1 piece of video art.
"Crisis in Art Time" does not yet know what it might become...it is a personal exploration of the senses, of their deprivation in strict co-relation with the deprivation of freedom and movement necessary in the present moment.
Putting the body in crisis and observing its reactions.
An attempt to return to animality, to the nuclear biology of a body that limits itself
tending to expansion and self-knowledge, so that - perhaps - this body of the artist
body of art, recognizes and empathizes with itself, opening the way to a new or renewed experience with itself and/or with the other.
Besides the sensory experience, several artistic by-products will be created in different audiovisual media, an audio-art (radio-art) and a video-art piece.
As this is a biological crisis, it seems useful for me to begin with the understanding of the body and its limits, to move from there towards an understanding of personal, group and social artistic processes, of message.
The provocation of a somatic crisis as a means of invoking artistic tension.
Being TOGETHER may only be possible after being alone, really alone.
