Live painter Akiko Nakayama and musician Federico Dal Pozzo joined together in a truly mesmerising performance
“Alive Painting” is a live performance of dynamic changing picture and sounds. During the performance, people concentrate on altering the beauty of blending paints and philosophical meanings. Her work an abstract metaphor of various aspects of nature through the use of colors and fluidity and attempts to celebrate the moments of beauty amidst the ephemerality of life.
“Untitled_V N Z” is a real-time A/V performing concert dedicated to Venice and its sound. A sound that vibrates of water, stone, fire, metal, all of which in a continuous movement of sensorial and mnemonic evolution.
Time becomes water that collects reflexes of our hearing and later absorbing to design a story of echo in new notions of forms.
