tanz performance köln and the
Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland and
has dedicated itself to presenting new artistic worlds resulting
from the dialogue between dance and film, video as well as computer
technology. pictures of (e)motion offers
numerous possibilities of experiencing dance with newest audiovisual
technologies. This leads to a fascinating encounter with the dance
and its physical quality and electronic, bodiless media.
This
year pictures of (e)motion will concentrate
on bringing out a world premiere.
Studio Azzurro, a pioneer for European video art, was commissioned
to do IL FUOCO, L'ACQUA, L'OMBRA. Together with the composer
Giorgio Battistelli, the choreographer Roberto Castello
and his company ALDES they will open our senses to a synesthetic,
interactive theater experience.

IL FUOCO, L`ACQUA, L`OMBRA
Tarkowskij's
films revolve around the discovery of the fantastic dimension in
reality. IL FUOCO, L'ACQUA, L'OMBRA
is a tribute to this great film poet, who enriches reality with
images of the possible and imaginary. In his films he opens up the
rich palette of images that nature has to offer from an obscure
perspective. The infinite aspects of what is visible are also a
main focus for this piece which is subtitled The dance of nature
in Tarkowskij's images: Five contextual elements - earth, fire,
water, wind and shadow - continually move away from the tangible
the more the electronic media used melts together with the dance
and the music. . Supported by projections and bodies in motion,
a moveable roting platform causes a continual transformation of
the performance space. This effect mirrors weightlessness, which
is a part and parcel of the element of nature.
STUDIO AZZURRO
The
Studio Azzurro from Milan is a pioneer
and protagonist in the development and realization of interactive
video installations, stage sets and works of art in Europe. Founded
in 1982 by Fabio Cirifino (photography), Paolo Rosa (video/film)
and Leonardo Sangiorgi (graphics/animation), Stefano Roveda (interactive
systems) joined the team in 1995. Since the beginning of the 80s
they have produced more than 50 videos and presented numerous projects
in venues such as the dokumenta 8 in Kassel. At around the same
time they began working with international artists of all areas
such as Giorgio Barberio Corsetti, Peter Greenaway and Giorgio Battistelli.
In its work Studio Azzurro experiments with spaces on the threshold
between the material and the immaterial. The group of artists construct
worlds which open the audience´s eyes, and confronted with
the unnoticable border between what is natural and artificial, we
are able to experience a new dimension of vision and emotion.
GIORGIO BATTISTELLI
Giorgio
Battistelli's
works for the stage always offer space for the imagination, they
are fictive and timeless and allow room for experimentation without
losing touch with the work as a whole. He continually searches for
open multi-dimensional systems which allow the integration of unforseen
and contrasting experiences.
His collaboration with Studio Azzurro began in 1991 with the opera
Il combattimento di Ettore e Achille and has continued with numerous
projects. In 1992 Battistelli received the 'Siae Prize' for his
musical theater piece Kepler's Traum, which was premiered by Studio
Azzurro. Since 1996 he has been the director of the Orchestra della
Toscana in Florence.
ROBERTO CASTELLO
Originally
a dancer at the Teatro e danza la Fenice under the direction of
Carolyn Carlson, in 1983 Roberto Castello
began to choreograph his own pieces, e.g. for Sosta Palmizi. In
Enciclopedia (1991)- a series of 30 solos - he developed a language
of movement which comments dances of the 20s and 30s humorously,
partly on the verge of the absurd. Since founding his company ALDES
in 1995, Roberto Castello has continued to work on an expanding
level in the area of multimedia combined with dance. For his last
production Biosculture he developed a multimedia dance installation
which aside from a live performance includes video projections and
3-D animation. His research in this area finds its continuation
in collaboration with Studio Azzurro for the world premiere of IL
FUOCO, L'ACQUA, L'OMBRA.
