Sugar snap pea
201 / Performance with sugar candy machine / MALGRADO, during POLIS-BBQ for ARTE FIERA POLIS, Bologna (IT)
As
we move towards a fragmented space in which the personal
representation appears to us as an aesthetic failure, the transition
from digital to real seems darker and distant from the perfection of
virtual image.
In
a basement a magical laboratory, machinery of a contemporary vanity
is produced. Sugar, additive for definition, is considered precious
for its processing capacity, aimed to confuse the taste and improve
the performartive aspect of its container. During the action, the
sugar is treated at different temperatures, the duration reveals the
transitory aspect of the image: sugar shows its ephemeral condition.
Just like any filter of any application of digital reproduction,
sugar is the glossy ingredient that has been interposed between pure
desire and its mystification.
