Affiliated in their vocation for multidisciplinary artistic research, the CCN/Aterballetto and the Collezione Maramotti present the new multimedia project blending dance and visual arts, online from September 30, 2024. Through the publication of sixteen video clips, Touchpoint tells the story of the encounter between sixteen dancers from Aterballetto and as many works displayed in the Collection: inspired by contemporary art, the artists freely express themselves in front of the camera, offering the audience an original performance and allowing their dance style to reflect the suggestions of the selected artwork.
The clips, created by film-maker Andrea Mafrica, are grouped under the themes Dimora, Essence, Landscape, Icon and will be published on the digital channels of CCN/Aterballetto and Collezione Maramotti in October 2024.
DIMORA / 1
The works of the thematic core Dimora explore the concept in a dense and emotional manner, identifying as living elements physical spaces, loved ones – safe havens or places that can no longer be returned to – and places of the soul, connected to folklore or the construction of identity.

Ritratto di Donne

ESSENCE / 2
The works selected for the thematic core Essenza are traversed by the fundamental principles of the universe. The simple forms used in the artistic creation are translated by the authors to explore the connections underlying human existence: the world is a continuous flow, a panicked alchemy made of objects and sensations that seeks to reconnect the human to the divine.

LANDSCAPE / 3
Symbolic places blend with icons of modern architecture in a reference between lived or merely imagined stories, in the core dedicated to the theme of Landscape. The artists of the Collezione Maramotti become creators of a contemporary nature that can be both a physical and mental refuge, turning towards the fascination of the past or images of a dystopian future.

ICON / 4
The theme of the Icon emerges across the works of Jules de Balincourt, Claudio Parmiggiani, Alessandro Pessoli, and Kiki Smith. These artists, in the diversity of their research, have used the icon as a register to explore universal themes: spirituality, the human condition, and the relationship between the individual and nature. Through visual forms rooted in the history of art and humanity, the works construct a map of references that resonates in the gaze and inner self.
