Saturday, February 26, 2011 LAVERONICA contemporary art presents Moira Ricci / Yatziv Amir, a double solo show curated by Gabi Scardi .
The search for the artists takes place at the same border area that separates the real from the realistic. Both feed the doubts of the vision by presenting true facts but ambiguous situations alongside fictional but apparently true.
Moira Ricci's work is distinguished by an intimate approach to the biographical data. At 20:12:53 to 10:08:04 (2004 - in progress), the artist recounts his family lived opening considerations in terms of universal suffering and daily life. Designed and carried out after the sudden death of his mother, whose date of birth and death give the title work, the series follows the course of processing, the attempt to rewrite the private and intimate relationship between mother and daughter. Manipulating a large number of photographs of her mother, Moira Ricci put his image as if it had always been there to watch with loving eyes on the woman. On these simple, everyday images, taken from the album memories of family, the intervention has shaped the nostalgia, the sense of loss as well as the desire to recover the continuity of personal history.
Amir Yatziv highlights the unpredictable activities that may occur in real situations by generating tangible consequences and paradoxical. In the slippage of meaning found in a few moments, the artist shows some of the dynamics of the collective history and their possible ideological significance. One of the phenomena recently investigated by the artist is that of "war games", recreational activities for team-based simulation of military tactics. For two years, from 2008 to 2010, Yatziv training and participated in the battles of these groups, a bullet hits the ceramic powder, tablet, facing each mimicking a surreal war. Made in the forests of Europe between Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and Sweden, the video Antipodes (2010) documents the incredible battle between the Wehrmacht, the German armed forces of the Third Reich, and the IDF, the army of Israel.
