The physical meaning of the word weight has been replaced with its figurative one, harder to quantify since conditioned by internal and external reasons.
Weight as the attribution of different meaning, value or gravity to situations, words, actions by each human being. Weight also as burden that each person carries into each moment of life transforming it in a personal and unrepeatable event. Weight of past experiences are imprinted in our mental DNA and transpires in daily interactions: they can simply and slightly interfere on nuances of our next movement, or they can inexorably freeze what comes next.
An attempt to make visible an invisible world: the one we perceive.
Cement sculptures made of foam rubber. Weight labels which, on the contrary of what social labels usually do, are marks of weight lability. Perceived differently by each gaze.
Conceived as temporary installations because of their unstable materials and their open meaning, unrepeatable encounters as human interactions can be.
At one point the research took an evolutive direction: the objects were put into the hands of other people so they could be experienced by them, freely or guided, the result is a work in progress group of micro performances. Each of them reveals something new.
Performers in the frames: Michela Priuli, Nazareno Pocapaglia.
