PRATI✷CA by Marco-Augusto Basso

Through the act of assembling one always stumbles upon a disparity of proportions: the desire to look at the infinitely small is interspersed with ideas to enhance an impoverishment.
In this case the impoverishment is that of the sounds of nature compared to the urban chaos, which are crossed with a physical movement, made up of trusting bodies that question with their senses.

In this workshop, hosted by EXIT's Festival 'SSSST...', we supported each other mainly through the sacrifice of the eye, of the sense of sight. However, this sacrifice is fictitious; we discovered together a series of imaginative projections
who build a pattern, a reasoning that enhances interconnected visions, new narrative archetypes - proposals.
This composition is an auditory compendium of our experiences and observations, it speaks to us of an urban forest surrounded by layers that ferment and push it towards a different evolution.
Caprara meadows are a liminal, mutagenic zone. The sampled and traced sounds are all composed together in a time that expands and compresses. Our aim is to welcome and treat them, question them.
Finally, it could be a hypothesis of repoliticising a place through a habitability of its signs, its symbols.
