Acclaimed visual artist Antonella Bersani builds an immersive environment with the help of the audience.
The Affioramenti experience is designed for six participants at a time, who have one-on-one moments of creation and interaction with each other. The space contains objects that appear to have emerged from the sea at low tide -- a story to be completed.
Each participant is invited to bring an object of significance to their life and place it within the space. They will then offer to the room both their object and a vocal expression related to the object they place. The expression can be a story, a whisper, a song, or just a breath.
Participants will be prompted to actively listen to the other participants, while maintaining an atmospheric sound dynamic that is as quiet (pianissimo) as possible.
Thus, a choir will be created. The audience will hear the sounds, sometimes disjointed and sometimes not, emerging from a "world of ghosted objects".
