Play. Performative event develops and realizes in collaboration
Play. Nathalie Fari is one of the few artists whose work consists entirely in creating site specific performances. Called 'living art', her pictorial and atmospheric actions take place in diverse environments such as the white cube, niches, apartments and shop windows. Her simple and quiet movements aim to counteract the increasing abundance of attractions and possibilities in contemporary society. This approach is related to Thiago Bortolozzo's paintings of empty amusement parks, which employ a reduced and abstract visual language. Through this performative action the implied humor in the water slides and swimming pool, become substantial. In addition the two artists pick up the relationship between inner and outer space realized in Bortolozzo's wooden installation. The elements of transition, emptiness and duplication are altered, reconstructed and reinterpreted.
