PANORAMICA*23 // BODIES MATTER: OR THE SUBSTANCE OF THE BODY.
Curated by Alessandra Arnò

The curatorial selection shows the complexity of the representation of the body and the human through the reflections of twelve artists who investigate with heterogeneous languages the relationship between the physical body and the digital simulacrum, between re-mediation of vision and visual suggestions that reach down to the real, raw and current datum.
The multiple themes unveil both the obsession of meta-bodies with the virtual world and the anxiety of bodies and self to adapt to the real and the need to deploy themselves in other forms to claim their status. If virtual bodies inhabit digital space and connect to a vision of other-worldliness, where thought becomes a stream of frequencies that deconstruct space and time in a reassuring suspension, flesh-and-blood bodies must defend themselves and fight for their own existence and visibility, and need to confront limits and social conventions, sometimes imagining changing their skin or coexisting and implementing strategies to assert themselves.
Within an introspective and visual loop, the viewer is invited to reflect on visible and invisible bodies, and finally, to get involved in a well-known projective psychological exercise.

ARTIST: Matteo Campulla - Silvia De Gennaro - Enzo Cillo - DEHORS/AUDELA (Salvatore Insana, Elisa Turco Liveri) - Carlo Galbiati - Massimiliano Marianni - Anouk Chambaz - Emma Scarafiotti - Sara Bonaventura - Gianni Barelli - Mariangela Bombardieri - Duccio Ricciardelli/Marco Bartolini.

Elemental composition of the human body
Drawing made for Marco Paganini's exhibition "From here is not seen".

"Hello, This box contains an image of a dance borrowed from the movie "The Tango Lesson", a blank sheet of paper, a pencil, a sharpener and an eraser. I would like you to create a drawing from this frame, with the materials contained in the box, to lend me for my next exhibition, which will be held in mid-October. The drawing will be exhibited together with those of others who have received the same invitation. For this occasion, I would like to bring with me the people I watch, who I hang out with, who shape the world I live in. This box is an invitation to dance together.
A hug Marco"

They received the same invitation: Liliana Moro, Annalisa Riva, Cesare Fullone, Guildor, Francesco Marelli, Marco Mancin, Cecilia Mentasti, Daniele Pilla, Andrea Rabuffetti and Danilo Vuolo.
