- The project questions the union between observation, relationship and emotion, the mechanisms underlying the perceptive vision of a work of art and how these influence the condition of the body placed in front of it.
MIMESIS was born as a dance mediation project, winner of the call promoted by DECS and Reso rete danza svizzera in 2017, created specifically for museums and exhibition spaces, using the works of art of the same hosting spaces and addressing a targeted audience, such as that of visitors.
In an intimate and isolated place of the museum, accessible to only one spectator at a time, each person is guided by the artist's voice to explore with their own body the sensations that arise in relation to a work of art.
The project can be hosted and set up not only in museums but also in theaters and cultural spaces, also using works by local artists.
MIMESIS is an empathic act between two people: the artist and the spectator, to create a shared experience that can be enjoyed wherever there is a work of art that can be looked at, becoming itself the object of mediation.-
