The project of Eva Marisaldi in the village of San Costanzo is a widespread intervention that brings vitality to some points in the area. The exhibited works have been realized in collaboration with Enrico Serotti, partner and maker of several automatic sound instruments. A first group of works is installed at Teatro Della Concordia, a symbolic place of the local community from which is possible catch a glimpse of the sea. These are two plastic-sound works 3000 pagine, installed in the stage, reproduces the sound of 3000 pages flipped in unison, recorded in an action directed by a conductor.
In the foyer there’s Canti, an unpublished video work shot in some construction sites in the municipality of San Costanzo. The music composed through a dedicated software starting from sounds produced by robotic objects, is the first acoustic aid that accompanies the deafening activities of the construction site. A few steps from the theater, in the Northeast tower, we are greeted by a sound coming from the depth of a well, the title of the opera is Analfabeta and reproduces the splash of books dropped down. Entering the military building there is a snowfield where the work Democratic psychedelia generates different graphic animations and different sound structures through an audiovisual device.
A few kilometers from San Costanzo, in the hamlet of Stacciola, the space in front of the municipal oven supports the installation Lanterne per Stacciola composed of about 30 meters of fabric lamps manufactured by the artist. The work contributes to the festive atmosphere and highlights a – perhaps lost – social heritage, or respect for the sharing represented by the municipal oven, the community.
The exhibition is articulated in several visual “carpets”, designed with chalks, as in the practices of street artists. They are ephemeral works, subject to the weather, to the summer showers. During Una Boccata d’Arte the youngest inhabitats will be involved to give color back to the faded designs. Like a large urban tapestry, these drawings connect the interventions of Eva Marisaldi in the places of San Costanzo, Cerasa and Stacciola.

The work of Eva Marisaldi (Bologna, 1966) focuses on the modalities of communication and language, and on the rules that influence our behaviour. She uses different media such as drawing, photography, sculpture, video, installations, kinetic art and performance to decode, in an almost anthropological way, what lies behind conventions. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and DAMS in Bologna, where you made your debut in 1988 at the “Biennale dei giovani artisti dell’Europa Mediterranea” or “Biennial of Young Artists in Mediterranean Europe”.
