Body Installation

Inspired by the series “One Minute Sculptures” by Erwin Wurm and after an articulated introduction to his work and about Body and Installation art, the students develop their own proposals for an installation where their own body is involved and interacts with objects from daily life. The exercise aims to sensitize the awareness of space and to create life sculptures playing with found “Ready Made” objects which lose their functionality and are transformed into artistic elements. The results are often really funny and so the ludic aspect of the operation has a strong motivational effect on the adolescents. The body installation work was also considered as preparation for the following performance activities.
