An Audiovisual project by Manuela Barile<\/strong>
\n
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locus in quo<\/em> – which means “the place where something happens” – is the general title I gave to a body of works based on a particular theme: the sense of places. The project consists of two video installations + a series of photographs and objects (Pesa<\/em><\/a> and C\u00e1<\/em><\/a>), a sound installation\/performance (Birdsoundcage<\/em><\/a>) and a concert performance (Oikos<\/em><\/a>). These components function both as interconnected, independent works and, as a single cohesive work.<\/p>\n

About the sense of place<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our feelings, our perceptions, our memories, our life can\u2019t not be told and represented with regard to a place. We are our place, our places: all the places, real or imaginary, that we lived, accepted, rejected, combined invented, removed. We also are the relationship that we have wanted and been able to have with places.<\/p>\n

Modernity unhinges the sense of places. It arranges and measures extensions, without dwelling on cultural aspects, on the genius loci<\/em> of the place, on the memory and tradition, on the aspects of the natural and ecological conformation of the land, on the ritual and sacral symbolizations deposited as signs in the ground and on the ethics of responsibility to people who will come. Modernity conceives place as “a purely geometric volume to fill with arbitrary disposition of volumes”(L. Bonesio) and it is for this reason that today we assist to a geological, environmental and cultural deterioration of the territories. Our relationship with places has changed. Our attitude is farther and farther away from “feeling ourselves at home”, to recognize ourselves as belonging to a specific horizon, which it doesn\u2019t materialize only through the tourist fruition, but it is given by feeling oneself as part of a culture and its traditions that have deeply marked the places.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goals <\/strong><\/p>\n

In this time the crucial importance of preserving memory and tradition is somewhat at stake. \u201cLocus in Quo\u201d is a project that seeks to contrast this process, providing a multi-sensorial analysis of places, starting from their architecture, both visual and aural, to a reflection on other issues related to cultural tradition and memory.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Types of audience<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locus in quo is orientated to audiences from different age groups and varied geographical and cultural backgrounds, as the aesthetical language used by the artist is simple and rich of symbolisms.<\/p>\n
