Clarissa Baldassarri
Riflesso silenzioso di una sonora immagine
Il lago tiene nascosta la sua immagine, che si fa presenza visibile attraverso la sua voce. Il fulcro dell’opera è la discordanza tra ciò che non si può vedere e ciò che si può sentire, lasciando libero spazio alla nostra immaginazione e al nostro ascolto.
Clarissa Baldassarri, Riflesso silenzioso di una sonora immagine, 2020, Castellaro Lagusello (MN), Lombardia. Ph. Simona Frigo
The artistic journey of Clarissa Baldassarri (Civitanova, 1994), which began in 2016, is an investigation into perceptual limits. It’s an open investigation, though, in that it aspires to create a silent dialogue with those who come in contact with it. Her works don’t provide absolute solutions, but instead present the infinite possibilities in overcoming the concept of limit. Viewers can use them as aids in looking and listening beyond physical sensory barriers.
Castellaro Lagusello, a village belonging to the municipality of Monzambano, is located on the northern end of the province of Mantua, at the center of the imposing morainic amphitheater of Lake Garda and about ten kilometers away from Lake Garda. Settlement in the Castellaro area dates back to the Bronze Age: traces of communities were discovered on the shores of the glacial lake at the base of the hill where the fortified village has stood since the thirteenth century. One of the ten towers that guarded the village’s only access point was recently restored. It is currently open to visitors and hosts exhibitions and contemporary art installations during the tourist season.
