HUMANS: Lockdown-Inspired Video Art Series on Artribune TV
Artribune TV launches a multi-episode video art series titled "HUMANS. Video-ritratti della società contemporanea," curated by Giovanni Viceconte. The project, born from the COVID-19 pandemic isolation, features video works by artists Calixto Ramirez, Marcantonio Lunardi, Francesca Fini, and Virginia Zanetti. Each episode is identified by a keyword; the second episode focuses on "lockdown." Ramirez's "Micro-acciones producto del confinamiento" (2020) captures absurd micro-actions in Monterrey, Mexico, reflecting on distance and solitude. Lunardi's "The perfect pandemic criminal" (2020) explores how social behaviors became moral crimes. Fini's "Sconfinamento" (2020) uses webcams to track human movements in empty Italian piazzas, transforming them into choreography. Zanetti's "Be a poem" (2020) involves embroidered poetry on clothing, shared in workshops at Villa Romana in Florence. The series is presented on Artribune TV, an online platform, and includes interviews with the artists discussing the impact of lockdown on their practice and the role of the web in art.
