CENERE

SILVIA BANDINI

CENERE

  • Cenere is an open window in Olga's living room: a profound and ironic journey into the absence and sudden silence that a death has left her, the reconstruction of a daily life in which a cold and inanimate object is charged with meaning, humanity and memory.

    Olga returns home today and in her arms she holds a vase, a funeral urn containing ashes, we don't know who they belong to, whether to a lover, a father, a mother or to Olga herself, like parts of herself ready to be left go, scattered in the wind of a fan between the walls of a room that contains secrets, nostalgia, shadows, voluptuous memories and emotional restructuring.

    The tension towards the object creates a continuous and unexpected dialogue, as if to rearrange the pieces of a lost relationship and find a new one, imagined and idealised, almost as if to celebrate the power of absence itself. The spectator is sometimes directly and distractedly involved in the emotional space of the protagonist who, through objects, food, clothes and ordinary gestures, carries out her own personal ritual, dancing and camouflaging herself in her daily environment with the same freedom as someone who is now alone in her own secret rooms.

    The Cenere project was selected from the PERMUTAZIONI call  2023, an artistic residencies project by Zerogrammi in collaboration with Lavanderia a Vapore. Cenere is also supported by Tersicorea T.Off.
