Claudia Triozzi's 'Un CCN en terre et paille' at Raum Bologna

Claudia Triozzi presented the fifth chapter of her ongoing research project 'Pour Une Thèse Vivante' at Raum in Bologna on October 26, 2016. Titled 'Un CCN en terre et paille', the performance-installation emerged from a residency and explores artist writing through the lens of Lévi-Strauss's 'The Savage Mind' and the concept of bricolage. Triozzi draws parallels between Neolithic craftsmanship and contemporary modular construction, incorporating video interviews with artisans and experts. The work features three performers who assemble and dismantle mobile structures, creating a space that shifts with the argument. Triozzi's approach combines ethnographic observation with critical theory, referencing Judith Butler's 'Who Owns a Good Life?'. The performance tests discursive rules and spatial norms, blending live action with recorded interviews. A notable moment involves the performers bleating like sheep, a gesture that collapses the boundary between human and animal presence. The project is accompanied and co-produced by Xing.
