Bodies of Water is a site-specific performance happened in a old car repairing garage. At the centre of the room two cross-like holes, where technicians used to lie down, become the place of embalming or temporarily preserving a human body. The image is the one of controversy, even tough the body seems dead it slowly moves under a plastic coat and breathe from a transparent hose. Entering the space the viewer has the feeling of being inside of a scientist room, where life experiments are taking place. Questioning its position as human being the viewer is brought into a journey towards its root. Bodies of Water reminds us of a foetus inside the womb or a cadaver inside its coffin. Precisely, water represents such dual and counterposed effect; one of giving life and pleasure; one of giving agony and death.

Live Performance
Guided by the music composed by Filippo Tosti the audience experienced the performance for one night only. Divided into groups the spectators carefully examined the bodies in their new habitat.

Scientific Room
Adjacent to the car-repairing garage, where the performers merge with water, is allocated a room of experiments, records and studies. The room is composed by meticulous drawings, photographs and other objects that all together enlighten the research of the artist. The underwater world is fused together with the human body crossing the boundaries between reality and fiction.
