GIUSEPPE CHIARI | LA LUCE
Audiovisual installation based on a 1966 score
Light and sound project: Agnese Banti, Francesco Giomi
Technical implementation: Francesco Canavese, Leonardo Rubboli
Production: Tempo Reale
In collaboration with Frittelli Arte Contemporanea (Firenze)
La Luce is an audiovisual installation designed by Tempo Reale in 2018 interpreting an original score by Giuseppe Chiari (La luce, 1966). First created for Artissima 2018 and initially set up at Turin’s Pinacoteca Agnelli, this is a new and site-specific version of this artist’s ante litteram minimalist composition. The installation offers a dialogue between gestures of noise and silence, duplicated in the relationship between light and darkness, triggering a reflection on the very meaning of music. Loudspeakers and light sources, placed within the dark space, are activated according to a specific score, thus creating a specific dramaturgical journey. All sound materials are drawn from the domain of electricity or from special sound landscapes.
