Classic dark words - K01 Painting

I called this series of watercolors “Classic dark words”, elaborating a bodily coding of the gesture/alphabet. The work is part of a larger project called "Typo Wo-man" which translates the gestures associated with a body into letters that become a real bodily alphabet that I propose as a performative act/dance of a story that only the body can express thanks to a glossary of terms that the participants in the performance can elaborate through an app that I have prototyped. Through the app it is in fact possible to interact by building narrations that I performed with my body making the performance unrepeatable being linked to the visual and auditory context thanks to the interactions performed by the composer Carlo Tuzza. This alphabet was created entirely with my body which has become a typographic sign of expression, recording of moods of a body. One of the peculiarities of this series of watercolors is that the overall meaning of the work is restored thanks to the marks produced with invisible ink which complete and expand the work. These marks will be activated and displayed only by those who come into possession of the work and who choose whether to make them visible or hide them forever. Hidden/obscure words are ritual, magical words that are part of a shared and personal dictionary at the same time. It’s about your own personal feeling that enters into relationship with other bodies and thoughts. It represents the very entity of the work through which one wants to enter into conversation with others. Memorable words mark our existence and accompany us in the repetition of signs that become a personification of ourselves.
