Esercizi di crudeltà

Matilde Baldassari (b. 2002)

Esercizi di crudeltà, 2022
Performance

Esercizi di crudeltà is a performance conceived as a rehearsal. Through this act and its repetitiveness,
the artist wants to point out two sensorial factors, hearing and olfaction, rather than its bodies of use.
At the same time, through the media handled within the performance, the artist wishes to reflect upon
the current notion of cruelty: its components, forms and representation.

All the organic material used during the performance was leftovers. None was bought for the cause.

Esercizi di crudeltà took place only once, no documentation was allowed.

Media used within the only performance: fish remainings, plastic foil, wooden panel, wooden stands, metal bucket.
