As with the work Io_nel_progetto_di_un_altro, the artist uses a three-dimensional diagram made of Plexiglass with an MP3 digital player and a small loudspeaker to depict a performance. Its structure being redolent of a director’s manuscript, an actress reads out statements given by five different characters. We are unable to recognize any logical contexts among these declarations, however, even though the sequence of the statements is similar to that of a conversation. The speaker first reads the assertions of the first character, pausing at times when she feels that the other characters should have their subsequent entries. What has been said is recorded and then played back. Here the speaker is confronted with her own language, or rather with the computer language, to which she reacts by reciting what the second character has to say, thus moving between monologue and dialogue. This process is repeated until the fifth characterhas been spoken and the various “sound tracks” all ultimately overlap on the tape.
