LOOP Festival City Screen 2021, Espronceda Institute of Art and Culture Barcelona, Spain, 13 - 22 November 2021
On the occasion of the Loop Festival – City Screen, Human Signs by Yuval Avital has become for the first time since its creations a physical exhibition: HUMAN SIGNS LOOP/ED.
Yuval Avital’s global participatory voice and gesture artwork has been shown at Espronceda Institute of Art & Culture, Barcelona, curated by Savina Tarsitano with the collaboration of exhibition designer Maddalena D’Alfonso.
The exhibition lead the visitors into the HUMAN SIGNS universe through 3 chapters. The first element, an immersive polyptych composed of 7 parallel projections with a duration of more than 7 hours, presents a constant flow of the artists’ auto-filmed performances, projected in different sizes and formats, creating an ideally infinite ensemble.
In the second element of the exhibition the visitors virtually meet the artists and listened directly to all the different emotions they experienced while participating in the performance, watching the LIVE GRID performances that took place in the past months around the world.
In this constellation of bodies and voices, the third element has been inaugurated too: A Door to Human, an experiential room, represents a place to immerse oneself with the Mantra by Yuval Avital, an intimate place that welcomes those who fearlessly listen to their heart and let their body speak or give voice to their own soul.
The spectator can thus immerse himself completely and be part of the exhibition, discover his frailties, fears, to find theirselves in a familiar environment of his own home. On this occasion, Yuval Avital dismembered the HUMAN SIGNS Grid and for the first time he created the Domestic Grids made with different personal objects that represent the daily life of each of us, from the kitchen, to the bathroom, bedroom, food, entertainment, cutlery, books... each grid becomes a world in which people can stop, merging himself in his own emotional world surrounded by the choral work of the 213 artists on video.
The exhibition is transformed into a journey, a work in transition, where the audience can meet the artist through his drawings, paintings traced on the floor, from the site- installation, moments of intimacy and life.
