22-25 October 2018

22 October 2018 11.00 am | Ponte Sisto | Rome

From 22 to 27 October 2018 Interno 14 next presents Stefano Restivo's traveling performance entitled LeCoDiDè LeCosedidèntro, curated by Roberta Melasecca and with a critical text by Andrea Alessio Cavarretta.

The performance will touch every day a different place of the city: it will begin on October 22 from 11 to 12 at Ponte Sisto, to continue, always at the same time, October 23 at Colosseum, October 24 in Piazza Navona, October 25 at the Pantheon. Devasting, ironic, paradoxical, Stefano Restivo induces us to reflect and to look inside ourselves before looking at the outside world.

"Reborn. He emerges from his being, shows himself from within, exposes himself with all of himself, giving himself, presenting himself as his inner things, Stefano Restivo imperfect artist, already only imperfect man. They are not shots, they are not photos, they are essences, representations of subsistence without veils, they are images that are slowly discovered telling you almost - since I'll show you who, I'll show you inside. Yeah ... pictures !? And then imagine that I say it while you scrutinize me, I give you my interior! - Those who do not know him would only say it and just him, instead Stefano Restivo, is the type that involves you and envelops you with his sarcastic laugh, dynamic between his sharp jokes, biting that cleave the air, cleave the drama, cleave living. In this unusual exhibition, all his irony appears, is, remains, remains. Paradoxical murals of a meek reviving man, of an artist who knows how to discover himself and catch you among his radio-diaphragms open to his person, ready to become part of a broader concept. Basin, mouth, side skull, right foot ... is not this? Are not we too? Yes we are, in our imperfections, but we are so beautiful inside, maybe even more. The sanding of the bones is done by art alone, and by investigation become the emblem of internal beauty, of communicating with the hidden body. When we walk also our basin walks with us, he, Stefano Restivo, seems to tell you - when I show you a shoulder, you see the flesh, but I am also my bones, I also have a soul inside and inside the soul there they are the wounds of my being. - Ridiculous? Sure and with that macabre taste of ridicule, making his body extreme art, not for want, but to say that any of us must look good inside before looking out. In a world of empty selfies, here the photographs are valuable, too much. Here is Stefano Restivo, here is the soul of an imperfect man, here is an artist ... imperfect in his bones. (Andrea Alessio Cavarretta)
