SENKO studio - exhibitions programme: "VOICES"- Emilio Fantin Supported by Istituto Italiano Di Cultura, Copenhagen I am very happy to present my new work “Voices” at the "Senko Studio", because “voices” is a work about the feminine condition and I know that the cultural approach of "Senko Studio" takes care not only of the aesthetic results but even of the social and philosophical problematic. I am also happy because in 2006 I will have the possibility to bring my work in Denmark and in Norway and I am so excited to know these artistic environments The installation “Voices “ consists of a pulpit made with some ironing-boards, two flags made by table-cloth material, some drawings on paper and an audio system. A pulpit with two flags in the back is situated in the middle of the space. The recorded voices of many different women come from the loudspeakers. Some audio excerpts, recorded from real speeches or films, induce to the listener an intense emotion and a critical sense on the condition of the human being and the woman in particular: from Queen Elizabeth of England to Eleanor di Aquitaine, from Condoleeza Rice to Lucrezia Borgia, Mother Teresa Calcutta, Veronica Guerin, Lady Diana, Ulrike Meinhof, Evita Peron and many other absolutely unknown. This installation puts in relationship the possibility of an emotional involvement, strongly typical of the theatrical performance, with the static atmosphere of a not animated scene (a visual set). The play-making does not happen through the identification in a protagonist, or more protagonists, like normally it happens in theatre, but through a performance, in which the spectator, listening and seeing, is the protagonist and the generator of his own inner drama. No stereotype or preconstituted model will be able to avoid to the spectator to take dramatically position for or one or the other of the concepts, the values and the essences that these feminine figures testify.
