[Katapontismos: plunge off the cliff into the water that represented the passage into the unknown in Greek culture]
The subtle and permeable surface that simultaneously separates and connects life and death, memory and experience, dreaming and waking, recognising them as seamlessly co-present in that karst current that is the experience of human consciousness. Through the path of the space, in which a synaesthetic combination of different media directs each sensory perception towards a single horizon of meanings, the spectator is invited, like a mystery diver, to make the leap from the cliff of his own certainties to enter the search for the unknown. Water as a symbol of crossing and profound restitution of identity.
''Nature merges with the sacred, from the depths you go up to the mud, through the algae and emerge from the water.''
Giuseppe Bergamino's sound design in six-tone scale immerses in the displacement, taken from Claude Debussy's composition ''La chatédrale engloutie''.
NOEMI MIRATA [b.1995, Italy, Catania]
After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania with a specialisation in Painting, she moved to Milan and graduated in Art Therapy at the Brera Academy. Noemi Mirata's research develops following a natural flow and aims to push the observer beyond what appears, crossing the superficial surface of things and catapulting him beyond it. The beyond is something immaterial but closely linked to our existence. The artworks investigate the dynamics between the individual and the environment. What belongs to us and what depends on our actions and reactions? The artist's work is an almost exasperated search for a lost or forgotten place, but also tends to rediscover that memorial DNA that belongs to every animate and inanimate being.
