Logica del passaggio voice performance/composition
for the new video work by Maria Iorio & Raphaël Cuomo (Premio Furla 2015), Sound Design: Gilles Aubry
Exhibition at: Fondazione Querini Stampalia - 56th International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale (IT)





"Part of the installation, the new film Appunti del passaggio features a voice performance by Alessandra Eramo and sound by Gilles Aubry.
In Logica del passaggio, Maria Iorio & Raphaël Cuomo analyse the phenomenon of Italian "economic" migration to Switzerland in the Sixties, which was characterized by immigrant workers being restricted to the sphere of production, by discrimination and xenophobia, and by the use of "health risks" as a strategy to control emigration and the legality of border crossings. Through a film and a spatial installation, Maria Iorio & Raphaël Cuomo reread and write up this chapter of history without ever slipping into a mere documentary, working instead to reveal the replicable structure and logic behind it. Logica del passaggio thus emphasizes the discrepancy between official, institutional portrayals of the phenomenon of migration and the subjective views of the migrants, trying to construct a 'history from below.
Logica del passaggio is curated by Simone Frangi"

SE DIO VUOLE / GOD WILLING - Alessandra Eramo in conversation with Tobias Fischer Catalogue Release

More infos and order: Corvo Records





"Thick ropes entangled with remnants of the sea, the drone of industrial machinery interspersed with the cries of seagulls, and vocal recordings in the Tarentinian dialect transport the viewer to the birthplace of Italian vocalist and sound artist, Alessandra Eramo. Her work "Se Dio Vuole/God Willing" is an ode to the beauty and destruction of Taranto. In conversation with German music journalist, Tobias Fischer, Eramo talks about growing up in a society shaped by Catholicism and superstition, by industrial pollution and the ancient tradition of mussel farming."

REVIEW on THE WIRE "Size Matters" by Byron Coley (Issue 375, May 2015)
Fantastic work. (...) Sounds almost like a musique concrète collage made from Folkways LP about the removal of the larynx. But it's not!

REVIEW on Diskoryxeion "THE VOICE OF ALESSANDRA ERAMO"
The artistic scope of the voice is to make it not just a communicative instrument, but also a framework within psycho-aesthetic situations can develop. (...) Alessandra Eramo is a performer of sound poetry, moving in the best tradition of Fluxus artists. (...) It's peculiar to listen one artist, Alessandra Eramo, who managed with vigor and vision the major Italian artistic traditions of the 20th century, starting with the Futurists, through Giacinto Scelsi, to touch Demetrio Stratos and their descendants.
