Amor di Padre

performance

duration:

26'37"

location:

The Over Art Gallery, Barcellona

note:

The artist tells through a participatory performance the emotional reality of a daughter towards her father.

The configuration is rich in symbols and memories of the father (the pomegranate appellation with which he called the performer, the wine with which he used to get drunk, the stick with which the artist remembers violence), but also metaphors totally aimed at the psychological reality of the victim (among these resting all the weight on the same stick with which her father wounded her and which becomes the only pivot of balance, being tied tight to that glass and holding in her mouth the thread with which she supports the fruit, the only element of sweetness in memory of paternal love).

The audience is invited to give the performer a drink leaving a bottle full of wine and another stick with which the spectators can act as they wish.

An enigma in which the artist invites us to reflect on the dynamics of relationship with their complexities and contradictions. There is only one solution and it all depends on the spectators.
