Alberta Pellacani: Palinsesto urbano VE||01

Alberta Pellacani presents a new project consisting of a video and an installation.

The video is projecting on a screen that covers the Oratorio’s altar. The artist’s work is the result of a long personal research made of many boat trips and long waits. the artist’s gaze turns to Venice, to the architecture and transit routes of the city, looking for the high profiles of the peripheral buildings and discovering the everyday gestures of the inhabitants. What we see is a post-ideologic Venice, that dismisses the taxonomic codes, past maps and narrations, to undertake both vague and detailed visions that belong to the un – permanent and to dematerialization.

A series of “special drawings” dialogues with the video installation. In these sketches one can identify city’s glimpses and Venetian landscape, inspired by a very old painting tradition. But they are undefined images, visible only in the dark, made up with a photosensitive and phosphorescent painting. Once again it is a provocative artist’s reflection, she raises some questions: “What will remain of all the images that surround us?”, “What is Venice? An image, a reflex or a stage set?” and at last “What do we really know about this city?”

Pellacani focuses on the image of the city in a new way and “Palinsesto urbano VE||01” is intended to be the first of a series of projects concerning Italian and European cities characterized by a special symbiosis between architecture and water.
