OBELISCO PRODUCTION
Founded in the late 1980s near Milan, Obelisco Production is a multidisciplinary collective whose practice investigates the relationship between the human body and the plant world, exploring forms of coexistence that challenge anthropocentrism. Their performances, based on stillness, listening, and minimal shared movement, develop as a process of approach toward the perception and temporality of other living organisms.
METAMORPHOSIS
Bodies as tree growths. Trees as animal prostheses.
METAMORPHOSIS is speaking tree.
METAMORPHOSIS is animal-vegetal vibration.
METAMORPHOSIS is ancestral narrative.
METAMORPHOSIS is something that did not exist and now does: another new, yet another fantastic failure.
METAMORPHOSIS IS A LISTENING POINT
in the forest.
METAMORPHOSIS IS A CONNECTION POINT
wiht the forest.
BEWOOD / BETREE
Be Wood is the attempt to be a forest.
Be Wood is a collective ritual of alienation, failing by nature and by definition.
Be Wood is an act of awareness.
Be Wood is a typical day in the life of a group of trees.
The rising sun, the roots, the earth, people passing by, photosynthesis.
Oxygen.
The sun setting.
Be Wood is a paradoxically and absurdly anthropocentric performance.
