Myriam Laplante. In case of doubt

Saturday October 15th at 6 PM Colli Independent Art Gallery presents In caso di dubbio (In Case of Doubt), installation/performance by Myriam Laplante

Are our convictions indisputable? Is our perception of things really objective? Are we afraid to

The artist reads a book, quietly sitting in an armchair. There is one anomaly: the floor and the wall are inverted. The order of things will be upset and the role of objects will be subverted.
The final installation is the product of the performance tableau vivant: the inverted composition is a space for doubt representing a domestic scene, a photograph and a book to read: a study of the phenomenology of doubt in the post-material universe of contemporary performance art through a study of... The title, written around the perimeter of an imaginary circle emphasizes the concept of doubt. The book-object used in this performance/installation is a limited edition artist's book. The video of the introductory performance-transformation will be visible in the gallery.
