“After a two year pause, the initiative was back with a particularly rich program which centered performance, video, and sound… Scattered throughout the environments of the Civitella Ranieri Castle, all the works and interventions shared a repetition of gestures, images, and voices, transmitting in some cases the effect of a real loop; an incessant and circular energy seemed to pervade the halls of the fortress. The exhibition, distinguished by this sort of evolving and at the same time interpersonal coefficient, was able to connect work, place and audience, almost as if it were also a single performative experience. In the live actions and in the works installed in various areas of the venue, movement was always present… Even the duration of the exhibition (one day, over a span of a few hours) is to be read in accordance with the transient and ephemeral condition of the artistic contributions, which reflect the curatorial idea behind this extraordinary third edition, confirming the performative reverberation that permeated the event.”
