Imperio/The Things
video and mise-en-scène
(episode 2 of Alice Ville)

floor 2 - MACRO - Contemporary Art Museum, Rosario
2005



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

It´s composed by two areas: a dark room where is screening a video and another space: a hidden room.

The audience only has access to the projection video room and they discover this hidden room through a hole (the opposite wall to video projection). This hole allows perceiving the daily dynamic of a ceramics studio alive.




:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::








The video Imperio (1´50") is a continuous flow between the disappearance and appearance of one picture. The picture is the page from Christie´s auction catalogue, and it´s a set of Vienna Imperial dinner service.












:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::








The space of The Things is a hidden space. It’s a real space-time during the time of the show, but out of the museum regimen: a complete ceramic studio in situ, a real journal work. The ceramist produces, teaches, sales her ceramic pieces and receives visits,
clients and students, eveybody are actors in a mis-en-scène without a previous script.
CERAMIC WORKROOM in collaboration with the ceramist from Rosario: Graciela Pichard.
