L.V. Beethoven photo and music
L.V. Beethoven at Malpensa Airport
10 december 2008 – 28 february 2009 versione italiana
The exhibtion is the result of two genuine and complementary artistic personalities meeting and joining their efforts. Orchestraconductor Giorgio Proietti and photograher and video-artist Patrizia Genovesi have decided to give birth to a space where the power of the greatest music tradition is boosted and communicated to the contemporary observer in the modern, and more familiar to him, language of video art.
Coriolan by Ludwig van Beethoven
Coriolan is a soldier and a commander, and at the same time a man exhacerbated by his senses of honour and guilt that will ultimately bring him to death.The genius of Beethoven is so powerful that these feelings become, so to say, almost physically present in the execution. And so it can happen that Coriolan flows into the interpreter-Conductor, who gives his identity back to him.The physical and emotional intensity of the character, which bursts out from the film of the concert, is “crystallized” in the selected frames that show some of its moments made still-stock. The Conductor’s gesture and body bearing make his metamorphosis apparent: by letting the Music flow into himself, he becomes himself a soldier and a commander, and at the same time a man divided and suffering from the inner conflict that will be fatal to him.
