Ancient repertoire
An incipit
Contraction, oppression, tension
The strained beauty of Michelangelo
Grace
The delicate beauty of Canova
Endless motion
The relentless beauty of Degas
Anatomy of an assembly
The dismantled (and re-assembled) beauty of Rodin
Perpetual dance
Scenography for a dance and musical performance in three scenes
As part of my master thesis work (displayed here on my Behance page) I envisioned these evocative collages as to explain and illustrate the several themes of both the art exhibition and the scenography.
Each collage refers to a particular theme. The first one is related to the first act of the exhibition, focusing the attention on the "ancient repertoire"; the second one refers to the first scene of the second act, where the focus is on the strained beauty of the Michelangiolesque body; the third one follows the second scene, related to the graceful beauty of Canova; the fourth one refers to the third scene of the exhibition, where the focus is on the beauty of dance and movement of Degas' bodies; the fifth one goes along the last scene of the exhibition, narrating the beauty of the dismantled and re-assembled body of Rodin.
Eventually, the last collage aims to be an ode to the body and its movement, its dynamic plasticity and its ability to evolve, transform itself.
