Cristiano Corbucci's Food Preservation Performance at Outdoor Marina

Cristiano Corbucci presented the performance "For a rainy day" at Palazzetto Baviera in Senigallia, Italy, as part of the first Outdoor Marina event. The work uses food preparation and preservation as a metaphor for individual and collective dynamics in everyday life and art. Corbucci designed a minimalist kitchen setup with a polished metal platform and six adjustable surfaces, eliminating superfluous elements. During the performance, the artist, barefoot and wearing headphones, slowly prepares single portions of vegetables—cleaning, boiling, and offering them to the audience. His isolation through music highlights the duality of individual versus collective action, with reflection on the metal surface enabling connection with others. The performance explores preservation as a fundamental necessity reflecting contemporary themes of forced isolation and self-care. The event was documented by photographer Elisa Veronelli.
