L'Acquavenezia
"We have witnessed the evolution of the 'short story,' which has removed itself from oral tradition and no longer permits that slow piling one on top of the other of thin, transparent layers which constitutes the most appropriate picture of the way in which the perfect narrative is revealed through the layers of a variety of retellings"-Walter Benjamin Illuminations
in the sub-conscious of our residency an oral tradition of its own compiles itself as anarchist tourism. in our flaneur-esq journey songs, quotes, and a restless wind of movement are called out and contribute to the opus as we explore the connotations of space and character. The giodecca becomes our storyteller.
using models (italians who have volunteered and will be featured on this blog) and environments as our storytellers is one way to return to the oral epic tradition. if we go to the bottom of the matter and completely abandon writing on a page, the story would dissolve into a cathedral- frescos and statues do not remember but exist as reminiscence. the schedule of events on a line irrelevant to the essence of a space.
everyone is comfortable in the company of the story arc. what is the most comfortable couch for an audience to sit in with both the regurgitation of history and histories new self?
