Loredana Longo's Performance at Roma Arte in Nuvola
At Roma Arte in Nuvola, the international modern and contemporary art fair directed by Alessandro Nicosia with artistic direction by Adriana Polveroni, held at the Nuvola di Fuksas, artist Loredana Longo (Catania, 1967) performed an action. The performance took place in the foyer within a rectangular area outlined with sand, referencing a house plan. Longo began with her mouth bound by her own braids, then moved on all fours, recognizing spatial limits, and finally untied herself, anchoring her head to the floor to break free. In her monologue, she referenced her work Crash, presented at Francesco Pantaleone's gallery, which features a ring made of guardrail pieces and explores physical, mental, social, and cultural limits. Longo stated the work contains her personal history and reflects the current situation of Iranian women. The event was covered in the podcast Monologhi al telefono by Donatella Giordano.
