Acclaimed visual artist Antonella Bersani builds an immersive environment with your help.

The Affioramenti experience is designed for six participants at a time, who have one-on-one moments of creation and interaction with each other. The space contains objects that appear to have emerged from the sea at low tide – a story to be completed.

You are invited to bring an object of significance to your life into the space. You will then offer it to the room alongside a related vocal expression – this could be a story, a whisper, a song, or simply a breath. Participants will be prompted to actively listen to each other, while maintaining an atmospheric sound dynamic that is as quiet (pianissimo) as possible.

Thus, a choir will be created. We will hear the sounds, sometimes disjointed and sometimes not, emerging from a “world of ghosted objects”.
