Paintings from paradise (The punk sister of Agnes Martin), 2011-2013
project and book with Cristina Kristal Rizzo
Rome
On November 2011 Caterina asked choreographer Cristina Kristal Rizzo to make for her/with her a series of paintings. The process was supposed to consist in communicating her alphabet of signs and gestures to Cristina who would ideally translate them with brushes and paints on canvas. Because of the impossibility of translating a painting verbally, Cristina was asked to proceed in the way she preferred.
While Cristina was painting Caterina was watching her. After each session of work, Caterina made a series of paintings of the same dimension of those painted by Cristina, using both the colors she left and the techniques she found as well as the energies she absorbed from her during the time spent together. Cristina had never painted before.
