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
