Exclusive video presentation by the artist Andrea Martinucci for WORD the US premiere presentation of his work TURBOMONDI (MELODIA), on the occasion of the 17th annual Giornata del Contemporaneo | Italian Contemporary Art Monday, December 6 - Saturday, December 11, 2021
Turbomondi (Melodia) (2021) is a hypnotic experience within worlds that interrogates the communicative power of the word, its persuasiveness and the mechanisms it implements in dictating the bonds of sociality. Giving life to situations generated by an unconscious that draws on the depths of the imagination to create new possible panoramas, the artist continues his experimentation freely inspired by the language of cinema and advertising, without denying a reference to visual poetry, investigating the mechanisms of communication with a subject. A mysterious story, a film made of static and motionless frames, with no tracking shots or other machine movements. The work represents the key to the broader research that the artist is developing with Turbomondi, a galaxy of suspended worlds, populated by creatures neither human nor alien, which challenges the anthropocentric vision of a universe that may not have been out of stock. “No being remains equal to himself. They break down and rearrange themselves, according to superior forces. What am I? What have I been? What will I become? Turbomondi invites to reshape ideas about what it means to exist, what the Earth is, and what society is”.
