L'Ozio, Amsterdam
Double Silence is the art piece who gave the name and at the same time completes the exhibition with a video installation where different elements interact. The installation was born as a reflection on the nature of sound and his perception through the human body. Double Silence shows a sound event in its secondary and alternative expressions, the installation has clearly been designed to be silent.
Double Silence is the art piece who gave the name and at the same time completes the exhibition with a
video installation where different elements interact (like silent sounds and water and consequently pretence
– fiction – and his unveiled mechanism).

Also as part of the exhibition a series of deformed and plastified vinyl dedicated to Charlie Parker (Bird is
not a Bird 2) directly in dialogue with 40.208 Studi (Ferri), 16 blades taken from original irons produced in
the 60’s, everyone with the application of a balance wheel typical of a common metronome, a piece where
metronomic time measurement is related to the economic level of people.
The exposition circuit has his
organic end in the Assemblaggi, a reminder of the esoteric and symbolic element which is part of every form
of art, represented here by a cross not intended as cultural element, but as an abstract, archetipal shape
decomposed and recomposed in a plastic - sculptural meaning.
Jacopo Mazzonelli (Trento 1983) obtained a degree in piano in 2003. He has studied in depth music
composition and obtained a degree in contemporary music at the Accademia Internazionale TEMA, in
Milano. He carries out a research on short films by the artistic vanguards in silent movies, creating the music
together with the piano player Marco Rinaudo. His research, throughout sculpting, installation and video,
investigates the relation between audio perception and visual element.
His photographic research converged in 2006 with the two-men show Ask the Dusk (with P.Cavagna – Foyer,
Centro S.Chiara - Trento, 2007).
Awarded at Video.it at the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti (Torino, 2007), he has produced an installation

di Riva del Garda and he presents the performance Scena retrospettiva / Flashback at the International Prize
