Imaginary water
In this episode we will talk of defections of the water element and its relationship with the imaginary, with the creation of meaning, in a word with our lives.
Recently, I often see a return to the use of both images and sound of water in many installations or works by young artists.
Moreover, the water is an absolutely intrinsic to all landscapes, both real ones that occupy our daily visual horizon and those far more pervasive and silent, living in our perception, in that realm of the senses that has extended latitudes although little recognized, questioned, taken into account.
Water has always been a source of inspiration for all the arts, and especially in recent times, as if to grasp the meaning and the weight of fracture that has occurred in the ancient and complex relationship between man and water due to the progressive transformation of the common good water resource to make money in the hands of a few (such es.l 'Italy is the largest consumer and exporter of mineral water in the world).
The water is distributed to us in everyday life tap the car-and this is the image and perception by which the synthesis know most people in the developed world. The relationship with the natural forms of water - from the lake to the river from its source to the ditch in the countryside, from the swamp to wet prairie - is regulated by rules of interpretation, the smooth landscape aesthetics aimed at consumption, which is increasingly a product be consumed and not a place to live and to be crossed by giving all of their emotional and experimental keyboard.
not only the disappearance of traditional crafts related to water and not only as a result of technological changes of modernity and postmodernity, but it profoundly changed the relationship with the same element also due to the inexorable reduction of all that the myths of the origins and the sacredness of the uses he had lodged in his aura, is relegated to the water resource, and then assigned numbers rather than under, reduced to mere commodity and marketed accordingly.
Needless to say, however, the recapture of the original perception of water, forms of cultural knowledge and practices that have coagulated around it and exalted can only start from the consideration that this item may not become a mere object of the market and, in equally clear that it is necessary to rethink, from the everyday gesture, proximity to our water, why, if well accepted and understood, helps us to reconcile ourselves with nature.
Water has always been a source of inspiration in music and this applies even more so in electronic, just think of certain works of Monolake, artists like Jetone, or the underwater world created by Drexciya .
's water is found increasingly in the accompanying video concerts of electronic music or sound art installations. A report
col'elemento water that brings us back to the imaginary catastrophic and at the same time reassuring the Ballard of the "underworld" where the water floods everything is eventually seen as a return to the womb, well made visible in films like "abyss" by James Cameron "where the protagonist breathes the ocean floor through the amniotic fluid and connected to his submarine through a kind of umbilical cord.
