Beatrice Celli recovers from Abruzzo ancient disappeared gestures related to witchcraft. Proposed in the exhibition space, these ritualized gestures ask: where do we place art in the regime of belief, and where is reality?
Counting the hairs of a broom, counting cereals, planting a knife in the wall, so many magic actions, rituals and simplified techniques used to control reality.
In the exhibition space, these gestures are then a metaphor for an opening towards another dimension, that of the “beyond”. How the multiple dimensions of the invisibles awaken contemporary art as much as our minds ?
From the exhibiton “Jusqu’au feu”, Villa Arson, 2019
