SIMONCINI.TANGI: ART AS WATER
Federica Borage
"It's near the water that I better understood that the dream is an expanding universe, a breath odor that comes from things by a person who dreams"
Gaston Bachelard
Bachelard suppose a child he enjoyed playing with the water of rivers and streams that form tracks in rural France: born in Bar-Sur-Aurbe, was a clerk at the post office, he graduated in physics and chemistry and became a professor at ' universities. In 1922 he graduated in philosophy and taught this discipline to Dijon and then at the Sorbonne.
What has the biography of a scientist with the art, ask someone. I could answer with a question frequently contemporary aesthetics, what, for sure, not about art? " But in reality, the answer is much more concrete, has a name and a surname, or rather two names and two surnames, in fact, two names: Simoncini.Tangi.
Easter Tangi is an industrial engineer, Daniela Simoncini is an artist. Simonicini.Tangi am an artist. Simonicini.Tangi am a scientist. Like Bachelard have a scientific training for half and half humanistic / artistic, but in my opinion, rather than being a hybrid between scientist and artist, Simoncini.Tangi are an alchemist. Alchemy understood as a philosophical system in which chemistry, physics, art, metallurgy intertwine irreversible and research as characterized by processes that involve both matter and spirit through physical transformation.
One of the core of their research is just the transformation of matter, change the nature and implements at the same moment, suffers. Here Grazing (2007): flowers and feathers are immersed in water containers, and the moment of contact, the caress of the elements, is captured by the photograph. A feather that falls on the water, albeit slight, changes inevitably surface water: ripples radiating from the center outwards. These waves create a movement that involves water and everything that belongs to her. The feather itself, so light before contact, it becomes heavier and, magically, gives rise to new forms, balance between light and water.
"The air we breathe is invisible to us, but is composed of tiny particles that reach the field and interacting with the light changes the entire land area, moment after moment, hour by hour" (Simoncini.Tangi).
The transformation of nature involves a dissolution that does not mean a loss, but new home, new life along the tracks left by the material. Their tracks is the title of the other work proposed here: seemingly diverse as paper, flowers, wires are dropped in a basin of water and exposed to the sun for several days. The sunlight speeds up the process of modification of the elements that are deposited on the bottom, becoming more. Are now signs that document the ephemeral traces of the perishable nature: organic matter claims its natural right to transform and change, against any artificial constraint.
These works have a significant implication that is not limited in the choice of natural materials, but it is the semantic value which involves man in his ontology to be rational, careful development of science and ancient and contemporary, while the element nature.
Just water, a recurrent element of the works of Bachelard Simoncini.Tangi and so dear to me seems to be the apt metaphor for understanding this artistic re: water is necessary to human life, turns, sometimes liquid, other solid, to evaporate, change name, change what meets reminds man of his belonging to nature, just like art.
Easter Tangi (Faeto, Foggia, 1980), graduated in Industrial Engineering at the University of Florence in 2008. Daniela Simoncini (Poggibonsi, Siena, 1972), graduated in 1996 at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. Since 2007 they carry out their activities with the common name Simoncini.Tangi.
Their boîte keeps flowing water.
