These concepts and ideas, along with the sculptures and other visuals of the work, were made in collaboration with the visual artist William Villalongo during our residency at the American Academy in Rome.” offering makes use of found footage, found sounds, quotations of ocean-inspired works, and water-like pianistic gestures, all joined in a mimetic cycle—constantly navigating between video, sound, and live performance, as well as back and forth in historical time.<img width="2000" height="3000" width_o="2000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fea0d96f9b6d92fdcfd24198e063c5656f901f8ee907164b6574ad80dbde6fe6/2022_Open_Studios_234-copy.jpeg" data-mid="158646097" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fea0d96f9b6d92fdcfd24198e063c5656f901f8ee907164b6574ad80dbde6fe6/2022_Open_Studios_234-copy.jpeg" /> <img width="3000" height="2000" width_o="3000" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/32d220f5d6f15a8e73f50d6373ace08ed38dbae7ca534a6bf2544c1441f9a1be/2022_Open_Studios_074.jpeg" data-mid="158646098" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/32d220f5d6f15a8e73f50d6373ace08ed38dbae7ca534a6bf2544c1441f9a1be/2022_Open_Studios_074.jpeg" />photos by Daniele Molajoli https://igor-santos.com/body_no_thing-fountains-2022-1 Thu, 10 Nov 2022 19:48:18 +0000 Igor Santos | Composer https://igor-santos.com/body_no_thing-fountains-2022-1 body_no_thing [music and fountains] 2022-Water Triptych part I- Instrumentation: Piano and VideoDuration: 15 minutesComposition, Video, and Sound Design: Igor Santos Performance: Igor SantosStaging and Costume Design: Igor Santos &amp; Eric N.

The piece showcases sounds and images from fountains in Rome, quotes and deconstructs fountain-related works from the canonic music literature, and engages with the rituals and labor of live performance. My general approach is to create connections between these worlds in a complex mimetic cycle—constantly navigating between the piano, performer, and real-life samples, as well as back and forth in historical time. The work dresses the pianist and the piano in white cloth, allowing images to be projected onto them while also emulating the marble and travertine of fountains, and the folds of baroque ornamentation. The design for the outfit and piano were made in collaboration with Philip Guston Rome Prize Fellow Eric N. Mack. <img width="2277" height="2269" width_o="2277" height_o="2269" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b6024b2fe4e446a79f7319abc695a0279710b7ddf96904a3d3efaf01f0d950c/_MG_7765_lr-copy.jpeg" data-mid="158646133" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b6024b2fe4e446a79f7319abc695a0279710b7ddf96904a3d3efaf01f0d950c/_MG_7765_lr-copy.jpeg" /> <img width="2948" height="3041" width_o="2948" height_o="3041" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/73548d863474324907d29553967b43952d62801f6f58ec2b686636e28efc74e6/City-n4.-City-of-dissonance---Igors-performance.jpg" data-mid="158646132" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/73548d863474324907d29553967b43952d62801f6f58ec2b686636e28efc74e6/City-n4.-City-of-dissonance---Igors-performance.jpg" /> drawing by AAR's Enel Italian Fellow In Architecture&nbsp;Valerio Morabito, inpired by the premiere performance of body_no_thing
