Live performances are moments in which the artist trying to establish physical interactions between material and immaterial worlds. Performed in solitary or in front of and audience can trigger new forms of energy and channel the Messages. With durational performances (sometime they last 4-6 hours), the artist gets close to a spiritual dimension, reaching a mental and corporal synergy.

Ratio
The ratio is a method by which the connection between one unit and its inner elements, static and dynamic, can be created.
Proportion means thinking about the origin of our origin as a unison ratio. The ratio during the performance will be Body : Fire.
Throughout the performance in the gallery, the artist will hold in the hand a small, glass oil lamp that will produce a vivid flame.
Like the flame assumes static as well as syncopated shapes and movements, the artist will turn her movements into a dance, by which she will celebrate and establish an equilibrium; a ratio between the body and the flame: a unison movement, a transition from Dualism and Unit.
The performance took life from the inspirational thought based on society’s denial of memories regarding the original material by which everything began to be; objects, things, food, constructions and people.
We are not aware where things are coming from and how they reach us.
Everything lands far from where it is created, from so far away that its source cannot be traced down, making the recognition and embrace of its vital cycle impossible.
The rituals of old and previous civilizations, were reminders of the meaning and importance held by every action; when they had to built a boat, they would have to go into the forest to choose the best wood to use for the construction, before cutting the tree they would have to respectfully asked the nature’s permission to get hold of it and use it. Nowadays, these ceremonies or steps have been erased. In this way we do not perceive these steps and therefore we benefit from things with no awareness.
As well as we are unconsciously enjoying a performance.
The performance aims to shorten the gap with the Origin, making possible the perception of the ‘substance’.
The progress always erases something, we should teach to each other to preserve the knowledge of the past by researching and embracing the Ratio.
Proporzione
La proporzione è un modo per creare una connessione di un’unità che ha al suo interno elementi dinamici e statici .
PROPORZIONE SIGNIFICA PENSARE ALL’ORIGINE DELLA NOSTRA ORIGINE IN UN RAPPORTO UNISONO 1 : 1
Il rapporto durante la performance sarà CORPO : FUOCO
Durante la performance all’interno della galleria l’artista avrà in mano una piccola lampada di vetro a olio che produrrà una fiamma viva.
Come la fiamma alterna momenti statici a momenti sincopati, l’artista si muoverà in una danza in cui cercherà equilibrio e proporzione tra il corpo e la fiamma: un movimento all’unisono, una transizione da Dualismo ad Unità.
La performance nasce dal pensiero che oggi, nella nostra società, non c’è il ricordo dell’origine della materia con cui tutto è costituito, che siano oggetti, cibo, costruzioni o persone.
Non sappiamo da dove né come le cose arrivino a noi.
Tutto è lontano dal proprio luogo di origine, così lontano che una matrice sembra irrintracciabile e diviene impossibile coglierne il ciclo vitale.
In civiltà precedenti i riti ricordavano alle persone il significato e il peso di ogni loro azione; se bisognava costruire una barca, si andava nella foresta a scegliere l’albero che avrebbe fornito il legno, prima di tagliarlo sarebbe stato chiesto il permesso alla natura per sfruttarlo.
Oggi questi passaggi sono stati eliminati. Senza percepire tali passaggi, usufruiamo di tutto in maniera inconsapevole.
Usufruiamo anche di una performance in maniera in-consapevole.
La performance vuole rendere minima la distanza con l’origine, rendendo percepibile la “materia”.
Il progresso elimina sempre qualcosa, bisognerebbe preservare la conoscenza del passato ricercando la Proporzione.
