Experimentations on paper, achieved through the floating colors technique, executed on the occasion of the project \u00abDe la Vall\u00e9e de la chimie au Port de Valence. Une exp\u00e9rience artistique \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle du paysage\u00bb, commissioned by CAP (Centre d\u2019Arts Plastiques) in Saint-Fons, and art3, Valence, France (2010\/2011).
Following this experimentations the artists had various experiences of acquaintanceship and interaction with water streams in different parts of the world, that brought to life works such as: C\u00e9romancie: sept questions au fleuve Rh\u00f4ne, Francia, 2011; Questions to the Yamuna River, New Delhi, India, 2012; The Ischiator Conversation, Valle dell\u2019Ischiator, Vinadio, Cn, 2017.
Caretto\/Spagna use an ancient divinatory practice based on the interpretation of the shape taken by drops of color as they fall onto a water surface. After pronouncing a question\u2014addressing the river\u2019s waters\u2014the artists pour a few drops of color on the surface of the water; as the pigment floats, it takes on different configurations that are rapidly \u201cfixed\u201d by placing a piece of paper that instantly registers the shape taken by the color particles on the water.
The use of divinatory practices that create potentially interpretable shapes, is one of the ways in which the artists investigate the origin and the meaning of shapes, understanding the latter as the manifestation of incorporated strength, the expression of a \u201crelational field\u201d. These kinds of ritual acts, widely practiced historically, explore the possibility that shapes could carry meanings, and are therefore never fortuitous or neutral, but always capable of communicating information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1349,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"product_cat":[93,69,68],"product_tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
