THE WHITE PAGE
performance in 3 chapters
by Caterina Pecchioli and Cesare Pietroiusti
with the participation by Cristina Bonaventura
In the occasion of the last day of the exhibition Sedeo Ergo Sum 3.0 by Caterina Pecchioli with Subodh Kerkar and Naoya Takahara, curated by Abbiatici_Levy, Label201 presents “La Pagina Bianca / The White Page” by Caterina Pecchioli and Cesare Pietroiusti.
The performance is based on the association between the empty chair (the protagonist of the photographic series in the exhibition) and the white page. Both objects, designed to host something or someone, become as well meaningful through the lack of this, for an absence that becomes, paradoxically, presence.
As emphasized Terrence W. Deacon in "Incomplete Nature. How Mind Emerged from Matter", there are some absences that are essential to the understanding of human nature. Deacon defines these factors “absential”. "Longing, desire, passion, appetite, mourning, loss, aspiration – all are based on an analogous intrinsic incompleteness, an integral without-ness that is an integral part of them." The empty chair and white page offer the possibility of reflections that do not reveal themselves in a dimension of "full"; likewise the discovery of zero, with Deacon, "was one of the greatest advances in the history of mathematics. Have a symbol that designate the lack of a quantity (...) has transformed the concept of a number, and revolutionized the process of calculation."
As well as the distribution of empty chairs, in a given space, is the "scenography" of a particular form of social relations that we imagine even without seeing it, the blank page is the place where the sign, linguistic or pictorial, is going to appear, as well as the place from which the sign has been deleted. The white page is then the symbolic space of waiting, loss, memory, inability and of unlimited potential.
