Enaction#1

Directed by Carlotta Piccinini

Enaction is an audiovisual narration, the staging of an organic form that produces its own world through the perception and movements of his own body.

The organism interrogates the environment both by delimiting as space and sound: sensory and motility define a world that becomes real only when it is lived.

Enaction’s sequencing of selected colors represents the different/diverse ages of organic form, which regenerates constantly and every phase of life that closes prelude to the next one. The fragments of liquid bodies narrate the form’s life experience; its own changes define the sound field and become sound themselves – the result of long field recordings, recordings of organ, digital synthesis.

The living form is an actual element and is narrated here in all of the mutations assumed through the shooting of each evolutionary phase, obtained by exploiting some principles of physics (non-Newtonian fluids) and chemistry (a combination of various elements at different temperatures of water). The final result is a digital modulation of a process “analogical” to its origin.
