Never before the current historical moment, with touch having been so long forbidden or feared, have we perceived our own body as the primary place where the experience of inhabiting space hails from, thus stressing the proxemic distance that characterizes social relationships. While ideal love has become a one-meter-distance love, it is the sharing of a sense of vulnerability that brings people together. What happens when such proximity does not occur during an encounter belonging to the individual sphere, be it accidental or sought after, but is rather orchestrated through a performative apparatus? Is it possible to employ empathy, while at the same time bringing adolescents close to various contemporary artistic languages through active experimentation, opening breaches on the perception of what might be defined as art? And also, how to document such an ephemeral event as an emotional change? What happens to the performance when it becomes documentation? The educational path belongs to Giulia Iacolutti\u2019s project of many years, entitled “Stages of love\u201d, a visual research on love\u2019s hormones, regulating emotions, such as dopamine, adrenaline, and oxytocin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* The artist guided the class in the performance of eight exercises, which, according to psychologist Robert Epstein\u2019s theories, can lead one to fall in love. After analyzing contemporary art\u2019s multiple possibilities of documenting the performance, students were led to direct a video on their smartphones, side by side with the fixed camera of the artist. The class shared ideas on and discussed the type of editing that could better return the authentic experience of the performance, and they also shared decisions on the format, times, and rhythms of the final video-work. Gestures, sights, and the spaces between the bodies become the protagonists of the video, as they are during a first date. The workshop is curated by Rachele D’Osualdo (Cultural Association ETRARTE)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
