On the occasion of the Rome Art Week presents IL TEATRO DI GIOSETTA Talk on the artistic production of Giosetta Fioroni At Maison Bosi, via Margutta 29, Rome, 6:00 pm Instead of feminism... I was always more interested in the feminine, in the feelings that these women expressed in their gaze, in the movement of a hand, in the daily attitude of the figure Giosetta Fioroni, through drawing, in an era in which overseas there was a ferment for the abandonment of the pictorial technique and the use of the serial matrix, tells the story of everyday life.
Simplicity of everyday life that is put under the magnifying glass with the installation of the work Spia Ottica, from 1968, at La Tartaruga by Plinio de Martiis.
Giosetta Fioroni inherited from her mother the puppet theater, the dimension of cinema, of theater, of the telling of stories of domestic life that become, over time, a fundamental hub of her entire production.
The canvas is the place of projection, it suspends the subjects and time.
Time suspended and limited to the moment of the Performance is what characterizes Spia Ottica, the artist decides to bring the intimate dimension of the bedroom outside. He raises the banal domestic habits, the daily story to the status of a work, placing it in the place of art.
Opening the dimension of observation, feeling observed and observing secretly, through the filter of the peephole in the door, an intermediary that places the veil of the dreamlike on the scene. We are not talking about ideological, social or political systems, but about Home. Stories of human beings. The choice to place the filter of the peephole before the free view forces the observer to put himself in the situation of feeling in the act of "stealing" moments, the shrunken view gives the perception of being able to make that dimension his own, put it in his pocket.
Everyday life, banality, become a precious story to steal. In secret.
