Simonetta Fadda

Il corpo dell'immagine 1986—1996

Digitized 3⁄4 U-matic/VHS video, PAL, 3 minutes (to be projected onto moving water)

A pink cloud breaks up and recomposes itself in a tangle of indistinct bodies that cross each other without touching, as they float and disappear in the moving water. Absence of gravity, lack of depth. The image is all on the surface, but the surface is an evanescent reflection that changes the image itself. The two- dimensionality of the image is transformed into the three-dimensionality of a light sculpture. The movement in time – proper to the video – becomes the movement in space – which takes place on the water.
