Few Stories in the Shape of Abstract Objects (2011/2017)
by Francesco Pedraglio
As part of the group exhibition
A rock that keeps tigers away
Few stories in the shape of abstract objects is a performance based on suppositions and rumours, a narration that uses invisibility and abstraction as red threads to make sense of a number of seemingly chaotic clues. Turning to the help of an Egyptian man and his French alter-ego, a rock, an arrow, a hole in the ground and a stomach filled with earth, Pedraglio attempted to demonstrate the existence of non-experiential memories and their link with the production of abstract objects. Originally developed in 2011, the artist has invited Hasan Veseli to reenact his performance and will provide a "live annotation" to correct, update, redirect, and intevene in the text.
