Giorgia Nardin - Aerowaves

All dressed up with nowhere to go

United Kingdom The Twenty15

A man and a woman are dressed in nothing but neatly tailored shirts. Side by side, they fold cuffs, collars – making gestures as if idly passing time on the street. Slowly, they react to a gradual loss of balance and try to avoid falling. Bathed in soft light, this mesmerising and gentle duet hovers between concrete reality and abstraction. It casts a spell that gradually fills the stage – and the body reacts to all this.
