is pleased to invite you to: MARCO DALBOSCO > SCALA 1:18
presented by sybin > susanna bianchini
Italian artist Marco Dalbosco presented the performance *Scala 1:18 *for the
first time as a parallel event at Manifesta 7 (Rovereto, Italy 2008).
Setting its contents in the factory ambient and analyzing its obsessive and
repetitive production process, the performance involves five women, dressed
and combed the same, repeating all the same gestures, steps and sequences
enhanced by a projected video of machines at work.
The entire operation
seems to have a liberating aspect that redeems creativity from job
alienation; in fact it focuses, at the same time, on the issue of repeating
and modulating mechanisms, set behind the creativity myth. The performers
look like they are free, whereas they always come back to the starting
point; they become metaphor for our own way of thinking, which sometimes may
be constructed and constricted.
Following Guy Debord’s idea of society as a spectacle, instead of turning
the production system into a show it is the alienation of the individual,
the suspension of a thinking being and the unavoidable conformation of the
mass that underline Dalbosco’s work. The choreographer Gloria Ploritch and
her students, all from the Italian Northern Region of Trentino, have been
working all along with Dalbosco to give shape to this performance, never
before presented in the UK.
The exhibition is accompanied by a text by the Curator.
Scala 1:18 is the closing event of *SybinQ Art Projects* for the year
