The Opening: Structures of Uncertainty
MEME | arte contemporanea e prossima, Goffredo Mameli st. 78 - Cagliari (Italy), November 16 - December 7, 2012
Video (9 minutes) with narrative short story in wooden viewing cabinet connected to a number of objects - sticks, stones, and copper plates with turquoise crystal; drawings; a device for vicarious perception; a structure of sensitive objects
The Opening revolves arround the narrative of a man whose life and perceptions are altered when he wakes up one night to a strange opening in his wall. Through the opening, his memory, sensations and relationship to objects are altered, leading to a metamorphosis in his understanding of the world. The project explores relationships between forms, aspects of morphology and boundaries, and the process of forming or becoming as structurally similar to the development of knowledge.
