Gilda Marconi Sancisi seeking unconventional communication systems between humans and Divine ; she searching the codes that bring back the connection between the One/Unit.
Through an ongoing cross-disciplinary research, which has its vey core in live performance, the artist proceeds in reflecting on her professional experiences in fashion, design and cinema. Working on durational performance projects with objects and natural elements (such as light and fire) - either in front of an audience, or in solitary - she tries to pursue the following steps:- engage with spiritual dimension- activate new forms of energy- generate physical interactions between material and immaterial worldsLike in a ritual, each performance has its own specific dress, after they are always presented in installations with other items linked to the performances.
A body of pencil and
India ink drawings I.C.O.N SERIES on paper and fabric accompany her performance activity, in which signs and images represent an inquiry into the - Divine and Humans image - in the contemporary society.
" Each drawing is a Portrait; I draw what my eyes see: the light, the shadows and the darkness inside people's soul.I want to paint a different plane of existence, depicting what some might want to hide, the pure part. My drawings are portraits that portray the immaterial part of men, the subtle part, the part of the soul.I don't care about body, I care about what lives inside it, in this way inside each drawing the immaterial fight between light and darkeness is shown; the stylized face is the battlefield, in which everything takes place in an eternal present." GMSThrough contemplation of the silent, the artist turns her body into a filter between the ethereal dimension and an earthling dimension, establishing an intuitive listening based on the direct communication between the two worlds.
The next exhibition will be at NioBasement in Rotterdam, space of the architect Nio Maurice ( Centro Pecci Prato).
Currently working in her studio Migdala in Savignano sul Rubicone, IT.
