Traces and participation
Founded in 1982, Studio Azzurro has been moving for twenty-five years along the changing paths of artistic creation linked to the languages of new technologies. Now unanimously recognized as one of the most interesting experiences on the international scene, it investigates not only the poetic and expressive possibilities of these media through the creation of video environments, sensitive and interactive environments, theatrical performances and films but also their influence on relationships in our era. For this reason, Studio Azzurro will be a tangible presence throughout the Festival thanks to two installations in Corso Bettini, Una strada and Due Facciate and a rich series of meetings with those they like to call traveling companions.
A road to travel. A map of words to study the directions to take, letters that draw particular maps, maps of words, instead of symbolic spellings. Words as signs of a landscape on which and towards which to travel. On these paths, indicated by the maps, images travel, or rather slide almost levitating, that give substance to visions that have yet to consolidate, matter in motion that suggests rather than clarifies, hypothesizes rather than defines.
It is only the beginning of a research work that by its very nature Studio Azzurro feels it must do not alone but share. A work that has at least in some way a form that is open in itself, not concluded and that continually brings into play the positions of those who seek or re-seek, of those who compose or re-compose a meaning to their action.
Two facades. Two buildings that face each other like the pages of an open book. A road like a binding that unites the pages, a bookmark of words that runs along the binding that unites the buildings and the pages, that continues and connects two places, a present one of words perhaps to be broken and a future one, not chronological, of gestures and actions to be undertaken.
