How To Adapt Winchester 94 For Scope

CRIME AMONG unconsciousness and the perversions of INSTRUMENTALISATION


How is a crime, namely: how to build a show. So, crime spectacularized.
The duo performer Fagarazzi & Zuffellato choose between these ten spectators waiting for the show early, sitting around tables in the white space, contemporary Area Pergolesi. They are blindfolded, then masked with animal heads, and finally made act in the space adjacent to where the audience: each other, unsuspecting actors in crime, the public is aware voyeur, in an area that does not allow clear visibility and therefore omit details and multiply ambiguous interpretations. The actions of the "actors", piloted by two performers of ex machina, are filmed by an operator, we are in the direction of the crime, which is decomposed and then be reassembled with text overlay and music, and then projected to with the public. The images take on a meaning that is constructed, piloted: the manipulation of the image, creating the crime of acts that are foreign.
Molto contemporaneo e attuale. Pedofilia, omicidio, incidenti stradali: si moltiplicano i crimini che vediamo (o crediamo di vedere) intorno a noi, nel vicino di casa o nei servizi che mostrano i telegiornali e la televisione. Una volta ci poteva essere il riferimento d'autore alla Finestra sul cortile . Ora, nella banalizzazione contemporanea, non ci rimane che il pubblico televisivo, il cui occhio critico è pilotato da registi invisibili ma che si conoscono benissimo. La forza dell'immagine è nota e da sempre sfruttata: in questo momento di medioevo culturale italiano siamo vittime e autori della sua strumentalizzazione: la subiamo passivamente (come solo la televisione può essere subdola), ne potremmo essere oggetto unconscious, but we are also authors, when we decide to believe the message that is constructed through the manipulation. Without losing the awareness that one day could contact to us to be actors unaware of the crime to which we have participated. In this performance all contribute to what is happening: the point of view depends on what role you assume, in a continuous exchange referred to by its title, text mirror of the word crime.
original variation on the theme, addressed by groups of innovation and entertainment closer to the tradition of media power of the image, this pair of artists added to the active involvement of spectators and the reversal of roles and create a personal niche in the multiplication of languages \u200b\u200bthat the current scene has to offer.
