2008daughters’ workshop at tileprojectspace for POLE POLE, a project by Derek Di Fabio

with Alice Bachmann, Aurora Bertoli, Nicole Colombo, Francesco Costanzo, Annalisa Daligia, Luca Loreti, Giovanni Riggio

“Together we were shaping performative sculptures, we constructed two pounds, we demolished a soil mountain and made mud with water coloured by natural elements. We were balancing soil sculptures on our curves, bones and clothes. Then we removed or cut away what we were wearing. Now it’s lying on the floor or they jumped back in the lakes.

They are thick, waiting to get dry.

Pole Pole in Swahili meansslowly, gently, softly, quietly, be calm, take it quietly, don’t excite yourself, never mind.340kg~ soil from an urban garden, fog-machine, water, reclaimed Kenyan advertising banner, two plastic sheets, material stored in the gallery space, mungo beans and lentils seeds and sprouts, turmeric, blue and red frozen berries, 450W speakers, miniprojector and videoprojector, lighters.

Tile Project Space, Milan - 2015

Two-days workshop and exhibition submerged in the fog Soundrack by Charlotte Simon (Les Truc, MMODEMM)

Pℴℓℯ Pℴℓℯ slows down the space that surrounds us: by extending socially recognizable events, by practicing waiting, being inhabitants of a landscape that consists between you and others.
