Recontemporary presents the artist Elena Bellantoni , for the first time in Turin, with an exhibition that develops through the story of the most emblematic and significant works of her practice. The artist’s research focuses on the relationship with the other, on the concept of identity and otherness in which the self is immersed and continuously defined. The intent is to participate in the dialogue that the artist puts into action through his video narrations and his performative actions, in a historical moment in which the relational dimension is increasingly compromised Elena Bellantoni chooses to “speak by de-writing the ‘Other’, to put one’s own “imaginations” into play, one’s own body to open new possible horizons. Four videos, an audio installation and a performance make up the exhibition itinerary that tackles some complex themes of our contemporaneity with a poetic-political gaze.

The exhibition opens for members on Wednesday 30 September from 6 pm . For the occasion, the artist will be present and will involve the public with his performance 100 beats per minute .
The following evening Thursday 1 October , on the occasion of External Night, an initiative curated by Camera – Italian Center for Photography, Recontemporary presents the video installation HALA YELLA addio / adiós , project created by Elena Bellantoni in 2013. From the idea of ​​Camera to transform the city into an open-air museum for one night by projecting videos on the walls of the buildings opposite, it will be possible to see the video installation while walking along Via Gaudenzio Ferrari.
