Corpofonie
“Corpofonie is a study that links the body to sound and pictorial gesture. The body is seen as a unique and perfect instrument, an intermediary between the inner world and the subtle worlds of the external. Sound can reverberate within the body until it fully takes possession, replacing the self, which can finally declare itself abandoned, suitably replaced in a state of lucid presence. Corpofonie expresses itself sonically through vocal scores where there is no text or traditional notation, but instead a stage writing, revisiting the concept of word-sound-rhythm by Carmelo Bene, according to which the performative act flows into an immanent and extemporaneous composition, whether in a live theater performance or in a recording studio. It also expresses itself in pictorial form through works that depict the figure in relation to the corpophonic research. The physiognomy of various forms of the self and the plasticity of the body dissolve into strokes that oscillate between realism and a sort of informal gesture, which leads to the dissolution of perceptual boundaries, through sound and its expansion.”
