In the darkness of an air-raid shelter, you come across a satyric mask that, in the hollows of the eyes and mouth, is operated by a frenzied, deafening mechanical device. It is a Papposilenus from the Hellenistic period, a depiction of the oldest of the satyrs, the one who hates the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIt is with a comedic language that Castellucci tells the human comedy, and with a inhuman look that concentrates on the human being. The mask is made from heavy monumental bronze, and that is contradicted by the speed of its eyes and tongue: this semi-feral entity sees \"everything\" and talks about \"everything\", a summation of the visual angles and the languages ​​of people. The sonority that captures and sends back again, while the eyeballs flail as if in the throes of ecstasy or delirium, is the result of the condensation of a screaming crowd, and his bronze as if it were a bell. The goal of the installation is to instil fear, but fear of what is seen: we, the audience, the group of the species, spectator-performers. Persona, which means \"mask\" in Latin, is our face to face meeting with a warning siren.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePersona\u003c\/em\u003e includes the text \"From an exchange of opinions with a spectator on the myth\" by Romeo Castellucci, and the Blumenberg-like anthology \"The Future of Myth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"corraini-shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53629349298506,"sku":"E06","price":3.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8652\/3978\/files\/persona.png?v=1768325662","url":"https:\/\/corraini.com\/en\/products\/persona","provider":"corraini-shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
