“Mery&Diana” – installazione site-specific
Aprile 2020, cortile interno di un palazzo, Via Pietro Rovetti 16 – Roma
Colore acrilico lavabile su superfici preesistenti, diametro 4 m

E se Diana non avesse scagliato la sua freccia contro lo scudo di Mery? E se Apollo, fratello di Diana, non posasse ogni giorno il suo sguardo su quella freccia? Forse non avremmo più il tempo di fermarci ad osservare.

Dopo una formazione da scenografo, Daniele Spanò inizia l’attività di regista e artista visivo soprattutto nell’ambito della performance e della videoarte in cui svolge, in ugual misura, una profonda ricerca e sperimentazione.

Tra i lavori più importanti: Line In the Sand multimedia installation at Made in New York – Media Art Centre (NY City) 2019, Orbis, site-specific installation at Cafesjian Center for the Arts – Yerevan (Armenia) produced and promoted by the Italian Embassy in Armenia in 2019, Quello che non riordo, site-specific installation at Teatro Valle di Roma, celebratory project of William Kentridge’s work: Triumphs and Laments promoted and produced by Teatro di Roma

What if Diana hadn’t shot her arrow at Mery’s shield? What if Apollo, Diana’s brother, didn’t lay his eyes on that arrow every day? We may have no time to stop and look anymore.

After training as a production designer, Daniele Spanò began to work as a director and visual artist, particularly in performance art and video art, which he approached in equal measure with in-depth research and experimentation.
