From Mith to Contempory. Languages and Symbols in Digital Art of Silvia Mattioli

Women Religion War was born from a studio-studio of Performance Art and Body Art

Women Religion War was born from a studio-studio of Performance Art and Body Art in a feminine synergy. The workshop led by visual artist-director Silvia Mattioli pays particular attention to the reflection on the macro-themes of War and Religion in a female perspective. "War is only done with weapons and only in war zones? The conflict seems to overcome the battlefield: rape, ethnic cleansing, gender violence, psychological violence, feminism, lesbian illness. What is the weight of religion in ongoing conflicts and not just in war zones? And what is the role of Donna in these scenarios? To what extent are women and how are they moving? Relegated to the margins of the struggle for power, what role do women today have in the world? How do they interpret the legacy of feminism? What definition do they have? Sexual specificity can be the starting point of the reconstruction process itself. In the liminal space in which he was confined by man, alien to the political agony and social tensions, the woman has shaped a pattern of reconciliation of those opposites that the male universe on the one hand and feminism on the other have judged irreducible: body and mind, private and public, religion and secularism. And in the present context as the female body is placed, body corrupted, sanctified body, body sold and mercified, body celebrated. W_R_W staged live tableaux, disguises, interpretations, revisions and alterations in a subversion of the visible hierarchies. Using your body as a strategic alternative to the woman's public representation. One of the characteristics of the artist is to analyze reality as in the Appunti for Emendi at Corviale where the image is represented in frames in Dvcpro in metal particles an electronic post-analogue but prior to digital Hd. The optical phenomenon of the confusing circle becomes a conceptual status: the vision of the details seems clearer away from the subject-work. The closer you approach (or the more you think you have the "reality" approaching, "entering inside "), the more you lose between points that become circles and lines that become spaces. You have to get away from things to decipher and understand them. A tribute to Pasolini and the songs of Hölderlin, which Silvia has profoundly analyzed to go back to the noble intention of reuniting, in a role play, what justice punishes and fulfills in the face of repentance. This is in this context of reconciliation between man and nature, in order to unlock a sclerotized urban degradation situation and regain the rural dimension that hampers souls. The installation is enriched and completed with four small pictures: these are extrapolated frames from the video to which they are zoomed in. Photographic development produces the curled but striking effect of the optical phenomenon of the confusing circle. That is, the details mixed up and confused by the thousands of points that make up the image, as they are visible close up, appear clearer away, forcing the observer to look for a point of observation. To find, through roughness, perspectives and distances, a reflection on the perfectionist freezing of the current image.
