Diego Marcon, INTERLUDE

Room 8

Dick is a soldier. Sitting on a stool in front of a tent, he is cleaning his boot.
All around, nothingness. Interlude starts precisely from the nothingness and the silence, which, in the setting designed for the exhibition, go beyond the confines of the screen, to continue in the veranda of Casa Testori. A semicircular and rigorous space, ideally placed at the centre of the cardinal points listed by Diego Marcon, in the video entirely sonorised by the artist’s voice. The starting point of the story, divided into three acts of a few seconds, is the preface to Species of Spaces by Georges Perec, in which the slavish description of the details of an environment becomes a condition for grasping its complexity: a paradox with respect to the emptiness in which Dick and the visitor find themselves.

Diego Marcon, 1985.
