Jeune d'Anvers,
Organismi,
GAM Torino, Italy
A performance inspired by Emile Gallé's 'La Main Aux Algues.'
Curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev as part of the Organismi exhibition at the GAM, Torino, Italy.
Visitors who are in a trance state observe their reflection in a mirror made of water as they listen to a hypnotic narration. They then immerse their hands under water in the shallow water-filled rectangular receptacle and follow suggestions to draw automatically onto a diving slate. Diving slates are used by scuba divers to communicate with written words instead of spoken words while under water. The automatic drawings serve as a trace of the journey that each participant undertakes.
