From 2004 to 2006 ConiglioViola was engaged in the production of the colossal-project
"Recuperate Le Vostre Radici Quadrate" (Go Back to Your Square Roots) starting point of a
multimedia live show, an anthology of 21 videos, an audio-cd and a collection of
photographs and installations presented in a big solo show in Milan in May 2006.
The point of departure are 21 songs hits by female80s Italian singers completely
rearranged by ConiglioViolas electronic orchestration and by live interpretation. For
each song, ConiglioViola created a video halfway between a music video and a videoart,
which, , becomes the background during the performing show, drafting a mutable
scenography with which performers interact, in a constant switch from the cinematic to
the theatrical dimension.
The whole show is played within a huge inflatable television from which characters come
in and out, shredding the borders between reality and virtuality, and between flesh and
projection. In this way, "Recuperate Le Vostre Radici Quadrate" becomes, a show that
appeals to all senses, involving the audience with different atmospheres, through the
different Worlds that each song relates to.
80s Nostalgia is the medium for a project that is strongly contemporary: an
investigation on the cutting edge of artistic genres and on the relationship between
music and image. "Divas of the 80s" become in an ironic and mythological way the
herald of criticism to the contemporary visual culture. In it, image and narration are
no longer carried by myth and signifying. Rather, they are often replicating the
ordinary.
