video installaTION - OPENING
RUBEDO

video SCREENING
On the corner

BY Cecilia Bertoni

RUBEDO is an enveloping video installation by Cecilia Bertoni that draws on the theme of death and dying, but also tells of the relevance and instability of living, in an individual and collective sense, in its affinities with the mysteries and the imagery of the alchemical process. A unique environment surrounds the visitor and transports them to a disembodied elsewhere, in which the transition and transformation of every daily gesture becomes a ritual.

The video On the corner will be screened on the same day. Originally presented in 2019 as part of the homonymous performance, the archive version shown here recalls the theme from another perspective following the story of a single figure that changes, dances, laughs, walks, travels, rests, abandons itself and becomes aware of every mistake, fall, and uncertainty, but at the same time of each getting back up.

The visit of both works is limited to a maximum of 15 people at a time

Existence – in the light of life as a complete work, with all its falls, with its little deaths – reaching the end can reveal itself as a fabric full of irony, colours and even lightness. And those who remain celebrate their sadness, but also honour the poetry of the moment.

The word “rubedo” evokes the eternal transformation of the body and soul.

Sometimes the body is accommodating, it moves, it carries us in the world, it communicates, but it can also become inhospitable. Physical pain imprisons us, isolates us in an increasingly limited, unstable and lonely space, from which we would like to escape. Forever.

The site-specific video installation On the corner was first shown in 2019 as an integral part of the homonymous performance by Cecilia Bertoni.
