MEDIATHEK

This work tells the story, in an abstract sense, of 6 days in the life of a group of disaster survivors, inside a courtyard. The floor is covered with earth, and the minimal scenery gives a sense of extreme poverty and a sort of madness pervades the whole scene.

This unusual situation allows for the acting out of absurd, surreal and at times dramatic behaviour…the courtyard is an arbitrary external and internal boundry and is the pretext that allows a glimpse into an internal existence, a train of consciousness between reality and the absurd.

The Courtyard is the group’s first collective experience. The work was created in Montepulciano which hosts the International Center of Art of Montepulciano, and reflects the nature and atmosphere of the place where it was created. The rain, the mud and the constant difficulties of those months of work were a determining influence on the day by day psychology of the creative process…a very objective work, in the third person, that invites one to observe and not to identify with it…but the center of this work, in the third person, burns, communicates something profoundly personal and real: it is not a confession, but rather an honest expression of personality, of a condition.
