“It is the transformation of substance that is my concern in art, rather than the traditional aesthetic understanding of beautiful appearances.” – Joseph Beuys on Bathtub (1960)
Working from Beuys’ theory of art and transformation AL13FB<3 presents a series of encounters with objects to construct physical experiences and translate emotions. Leading the audience through a poetic and futuristic landscape, Fernando Belfiore explores the potential of theatrical magic, reshaping his environment as an act of renewal. From the very domestic to epic, from sacred to profane, from pop to sci-fi, the work proposes a journey where the body changes its materiality and shifts pathways of understanding. AL13FB<3 is a trip through different frequencies; formed, informed, deformed and transformed by the body.
