The exhibition “Il corpo del reato: la reclusione”, showing at CACT_ Centro d’Arte Contemporanea Ticino in Bellinzona, brings together works on the dramatical theme of the secluded body. A video by Artur Zmijewski (born 1966, Poland) entitled The Game of Tag (1999) is filmed in two rooms, one of which is a Nazi gas chamber, and presents a bitter juxtaposition between extermination and naked bodies. Jerusalem #1, #2, #3 (2007) by Valter Luca Signorile (born in 1965, Italy) is made with a cellphone. The artist himself is filmed while staging a pantomime of desperate gestures. 10 Men (2003) by Mark Raidpere (born 1975, Estonia) is a video featuring two men held in the Estonian prison of Tartu; only the top halves of their bodies appear in different poses. Technological means provide the inmates with freedom of movement and emotional expression. Silvia Monaco
