online exhibition on VisualcontainerTv and event at SuperOtium, Naples.
The snake changes its skin: its dry skin can be seen
as an objet trouvé, as an empathic tool for relating
to others and to the environment.
On 22 February, at SuperOtium, we presented Becoming the Skin of the Snake exhibition and explored through our guests the different ways in which the artists' research relates to video, both as a tool and as a work.
The round table was intended as a meeting point between the people present, their artistic practices and the use of video in their research: a space to engage in reflections that will evolve throughout the evening in face-to-face conversations.
The video projection presented works that dialogue with the video-trouvé as a tool to look at one's own research through the eyes of others: a topical subject to explore how human interaction and the perception of reality continuously slip within the interfaces of the screen.
The 9 works by the young artists were created in 2021 and 2022 as part of the VVV-R residency: they interacted within a digital environment consisting of a blog, a webinar platform, digital and physical archives, and a streaming platform. More details at the link: screening-at-superotium
