The videos of Grazia Toderi (Padua, 1963), atemporal images with pictorial qualities, are characterized by the use of a fixed video camera and by a circular structure that contradicts the narrative possibilities of video. The artist focuses her attention on images that pertain to history as well as mass culture, developing them according to a process that transforms the particular into the universal.<\/p>\n
Her videos, reflections on the human condition, delineate geometries, forms and laws that modify concepts of space and time, transcending the finite and the diachronic development of human existence.<\/p>\n
On the occasion of her first solo exhibition in a museum, Toderi presents a series of new video projections that have emerged in part from her encounter with the architecture, spatial organization and history of Castello di Rivoli. Identifying a pattern of signs that pertain to the context that is encountered, the artist develops the exhibition as a voyage of approach and consequent distancing. The videos she has created, including L\u2019atrio <\/em>(The Atrium<\/em>, 1998), I gemelli dei castelli <\/em>(The Twins of the Castles<\/em>, 1998) and Il decollo <\/em>(The Takeoff<\/em>, 1998) propose an idea of infinite space regulated by complex geometries, giving a new dimension to the Baroque vision and the human events from which the Castello di Rivoli building is woven.<\/p>\n [M.B.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Curated by Ida Gianelli, Marcella Beccaria The videos of Grazia Toderi (Padua, 1963), atemporal images with pictorial qualities, are characterized by the use of a fixed video camera and by […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27096,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101272","mostra","type-mostra","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
