2016-2017
SSOL/AP is an independent choreographic project started in London in 2016 (Bosse&Baum Gallery), later re-staged in Gwangju (Asia Culture Center) and in Rome (Galleria Valentina Bonomo). It took its final shape in Amsterdam in July 2017 through 4 new studios of the performance held in various location of the city (Rozenstraat a rose is a rose is a rose, Rijksakademie Project Space South, The Family Gym and Vijzelvintage) SSOL/AP was born as an attempt at expanding my research on the limits of language shifting the focus from the production of objects-painting to the creation of a living rhythm.
In the last years I developed a series of gestures in order to overcome the limits of language and representation during the act of painting.
The transcription of these actions became the score of a choreography, responsive to both the place in which it is staged and to the participants’ attitudes and capabilities. Translated by the performers, freed from the physicality of the painting tools and devoid of productive goals, the actions became a rhythm of around 20 minutes. The different natures of the chosen locations allowed us to modify the piece and to experiment with different lengths, audiences and accidents.
