Milan Cathedral

 

pause 2004

 

11.03.2004 | 25.03.2004 | 01.04.2004

The Cathedral is enveloped in images which pierce its vast walls, while in the nave and side aisles appear and reappear repeatedly the last words of Kerouac, Pasolini, Wilde, Plath and Yourcenar.

A shower of unexpected events, in

three acts.At a certain point, though,

 an electric chair placed at the height of the keystone of the Cathedral manages to annoy the public. This too is Pauses: not only a great spectacle.

 

A close relationship exists between the world of art and that of the sacred. Pauses has shown this. Not in an authoritative nor confessional way, but in an analogy:

that is, by means of the combination of heterogeneous elements from visual arts, music, dance and the world of words. The scenario is a monument of a religious

and civil civilisation, transformed into an enveloping container of finds: evocations and provocations.
