Stillivingrooms - excerpt from Netmage 2008

Stillivingrooms is a project conceived by Andrea Belfi (sound) and developed with Mirco Santi (video).It consists of an audio/visual live-set, which takes place inside an apartment's room (or more than one room), using its physical (forniture, windowpanes, walls) and conceptual elements (intimacy, familiarity, sense of protection). The narrative sequence is divided into three parts, but it doesn't care about following a linear time progression.
Stillivingrooms confronts the very notion of feedback: sounds are diffused by the same devices which produce them in what we might call a 'dirty' circle; similarly, images of interiors are projected on an actual room surfaces, unperfectly redoubling them. This process creates a trompe l'oeil/trompe la conscience which gently pushes the audience to perceive anew the domestic/private space.
Stillivingrooms plays with different elements: the Intimacy (of the apartment where the project takes place, of Home Movies images taken from private family archives), the repetition of sound elements, the free association of forms, emotions and sounds inspired by the interaction between audio and video.
