Simonetta Fadda

Il pubblico del concerto (The Concert Audience)1994

Digitized hi8 video, PAL, 2 minutes

The rock concerts. The audience under the stage. A big non-risk party where sex and violence are simulated and played out on an exclusively virtual dimension. Behaviour is ritualised and the audience's script is always the same, from concert to concert. Below the stage, the important thing is not so much what you see, but what you live. Here, the visual experience is made up of lights, the blurred details of bodies that attract and repel in dance, while in the air filled with sounds and breaths, eyes glide in search of an improbable balance.
