News animations
Creators: Simone Forti
The book is the complete collection of Simone Forti's "News Animations", one of the most revealing works of her artistic practice. The "news" and, more broadly, the most pressing issues of the global socio-political situation, are used to explore the potential of language, its dimensions and its combination with dance, movement, words, images and music. Simone Forti has always "danced" the news; it's her way of telling it. But above all, it's the way she internalizes, feels and processes them. Through a stream of consciousness, the artist gives voice and body to reflections on the world, its conflicts, wars, injustices and inequalities. This volume brings together Simone Forti's "News Animations" from 1980 to 2018 - through transcriptions of performances, images and drawings - seeking to capture their spirit, their poetic stance and, above all, to understand how they manage to describe the society and world we live in.
