Gilda Marconi Sancisi researches the CODES that lead from DUALITY to UNITY.
Through an ongoing cross-disciplinary research, which has its vey core in drawings and live performance, the artist proceeds in reflecting on her professional experiences in fashion, design and cinema.Working on durational performance projects with objects and natural elements (such as light and fire) - either in front of an audience, or in solitary - she tries to pursue the following steps:
- activate new forms of energy
- generate physical interactions between material and immaterial worlds
- examine and test the codes inspiring the connection to the One/Unit
Like in a ritual, each performance has its own specific dress, after they are always presented in installations with other items linked to the performances.
A body of pencil and India ink drawings I.C.O.N SERIES on paper and fabric accompany her performance activity, in which signs and images represent an investigation into the concept of One / Unity.
The drawings are like fractals, apparently they repeat themselves in the form in different sizes. The Unit is represented through the repetition of elements.
Each drawing is a commissioned portrait that the artist performs live.
" Each drawing is a Portrait; I draw what my eyes see: the light, the shadows and the darkness inside people's soul. " GMS
I want to paint a different plane of existence, depicting what some might want to hide, the pure part. My drawings are portraits that portray the immaterial part of men,.I don't care about body, I care about what lives inside it, in this way inside each drawing the immaterial fight between light and darkeness is shown; the stylized face is the battlefield, in which everything takes place in an eternal present." GMS
Through contemplation of the silent, the artist turns her body into a filter between the ethereal dimension and an earthling dimension, establishing an intuitive listening based on the direct communication between the two worlds.
Currently working in her studio Migdala and in Turin, IT.

Gilda Marconi Sancisi è un'artista, attrice e fashion designer.
La sua pratica si sviluppa tra performance, disegno, installazione, video, fotografia,
text- based, scultura e costume.
Nel suo lavoro ricerca i CODICI che portano dalla DUALITA' all' UNITA'.
La serie di disegni I.C.O.N è un'indagine sul concetto di uno / unità.
I disegni sono come dei frattali, apparentemente si ripetono nella forma in diverse scale. L'unità è rappresentata attraverso la ripetizione di elementi. Le misure dei disegni vanno dai 2 cm ai 4 mt.
Ogni disegno è un ritratto su commissione che l’artista esegue live.
..." Ogni disegno è un ritratto; io disegno solo quello che i miei occhi vedono: la luce, le ombre e l'oscurità dell'animo delle persone."GMS "
Attraverso la contemplazione del silenzio, l’artista porta il suo corpo alla condizione di “filtro” tra la dimensione materiale e immateriale, stabilendo così un ascolto intuitivo basato sulla diretta comunicazione tra i due mondi. In questo modo lei esplora la tensione di un processo rituale fortemente legato alla sua pratica performativa.
Attualmente lavora nel suo studio Migdala e a Torino, IT
