with Glauco Salvo and Pier Paolo Zimmermann

2023 – ON TOUR

teaser

Through the activity of jumping rope, Parini Secondo together with Glauco Salvo and Pier Paolo Zimmermann creates a performative action and a practice of archiving that ignites places by their intrinsic and veiled acoustic characteristics. 

The instrument of skipping rope is used as an activator of specific acoustic events in places selected for their resonant power. Thus, the video-tutorial, usually intended to emphasise the activity of the jumping subject, is instead used as an event that illuminates the environment, the frame in which the jump is inserted. The gymnastic activity becomes an acoustic and visual meditative pretext, supported and conducted by Glauco Salvo’s subtle electronic interventions – lyrical and illusory glimpses provoked to divert perception – and Pier Paolo’s alienating perspectives.

Following several surveys, the group selects spaces that have an interesting acoustic response towards the skipping of the rope. After a few days of study and observation of the urban sound and light environment, they make a descriptive video fragment that will be added to the ongoing collection that the artists have been working on since January 2023: an archive that narrates the technical progress of Parini Secondo’s skipping activity and recounts the geography of his research path through Pier Paolo’s wide, static and sensitive shots and Glauco’s delicately altered field recordings. 

At the end of the days of research and study, they open to the public the performative device conceived to bring live what happens in the archive, sensitising perception to what the spaces and environments already offer.
