A Common Day
Stripe by stripe, the friends from Fototeca
Manfrediana covered all the windows of the
Veranda, with the idea of creating a pinhole
room. Dozens of subtle aluminium peels adhere
to the glass, making no room for the light to
penetrate the space. Even above the hottest
sun, the Veranda appears as much obscure as
on the deepest nights. Here, the music studio is
set up. Luna and Gianmarco rigorously calculated
the size of the hole to be open to make the
magic. A rectangle of about 4x5 cm has been
peeled off in order to make the pinhole.
Suddenly, you can see inside the room the crests
of the mountains overlooking our terrace. A
blurred image of the landscape and the people
passing through the terrace hits the surface
of the musical instruments, and the same
projection extends over the walls of the room,
recolouring all the surfaces. While Andrea,
Ilaria, Paace2000 and some others are dancing
on the terrace, making use of dried branches
and random items of furniture as a temporary
scenography, the musicians are executing a jam
session. The projection of the blurry, dancing
figures interacts with the moving bodies. The
vanishing clouds reflect on the sweaty bodies,
while the music escapes as a muffled sound
around the terrace, encouraging light-hearted
movements.
During the evening, Marco realised the sacred
armour for Paace2000’s live performance in Cà
de Monti, together with Emmezio. It is one of
those things that is not scheduled and comes
as part of the daily, local entertainment.
