One of the most anticipated moments of Capri Wave – Winter Arts Festival is here, organized by the City of Capri, in collaboration with the Gulliver Cultural Association, with the artistic direction of Umberto Natalizio and Sara Aprea, scheduled until January 15, 2020.
On Friday, December 20, at 19:20 pm and Saturday, December 20, at XNUMX:XNUMX pm, Capri is preparing to welcome the international premiere of “Pink City”, the digital installation by Franz Cerami projected onto the facades of the buildings in the village of Marina Grande, thanks to the support of the Capri Tourist Port.
Pink City is a visual poem: lines, landscapes, cities, floating islands that create an open and immersive space. A pink dream made of places crossed, imagined, painted. The installation, produced between Capri, Naples, Rome, Paris, Marrakech and Rio de Janeiro, introduces us to a suspended dimension of reality where colors, sounds, movements give life to a dreamlike and surprising journey.
On the floating surface of Cerami's Pink City, the relationship between architecture, mind and space opens up to the user the opportunity to extricate themselves from dangerous situations, from the unpleasant truths of real metropolises that, through the filter of digital reworking, become light, suspended, intimate. The musical track that accompanies the vision of the city, by the Youarehere group, is pressing, hypnotic and at the same time soft and pleasant.
The union between art and technology is the focal point of Cerami's works that propose a continuous dialogue between digital and analog. In particular, in Pink City the analog is hidden by the computer process, but particularly evident in the organization and trajectory of the path, in the choice of perspectives, and the relationships between time, space and light.
Through the analog gesture, digital becomes welcoming, natural, human.
The musical track that accompanies the vision of the city is pressing, hypnotic and at the same time soft and pleasant.
Capri, in the imagination of many the island of myth, thus becomes an important piece of Pink City, an installation that appropriates the territory and its architecture, transforming its elements to recombine them in a journey made of bewilderment, suspensions, wonders, new horizons.
The choice to place the installation right in the village of Marina Grande, the first landing place on the island, fits perfectly with Cerami's artistic purpose, which offers us the gaze of a fleneur who has just arrived on the island.
Franz Cerami was the Artistic Director of Monumedia, International Exhibition on Digital Languages applied to Cultural Heritage. He directed Corto Circuito, a Festival of short audiovisual communication, for ten years. He teaches Rhetoric and Digital Storytelling at the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples and in international Masters and Workshops.
