Chiara Guidi's 'La voce in una foresta di immagini invisibili' Explores Voice as Material

Chiara Guidi, one of the founders of Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio, released 'La voce in una foresta di immagini invisibili' (Nottetempo, Milan, 2017), which delves into her innovative exploration of the voice. This work serves as a documentation of her ongoing research, a personal account, and a compilation of sketches, notes, and diagrams. It features a handwritten letter titled 'A te, povero attore!', highlighting the necessity of urgent communication. Guidi investigates the voice as both sound and physical presence, connecting it to the organic elements of Socìetas's theatrical productions. Her highly personal approach emphasizes sound's significance over its meaning, seeking to uncover meaning through sound itself. Inspired by Antonin Artaud, her insights on trauma, particularly surrounding her father's passing, culminate in a 'Molecular Technique of the Voice' that dissects the fundamental aspects of sound.
