Words and images offer a strange resistance to wear and tear. The passing of time takes away as many stories as it generates new ones. In the ruins of collective memory, pebbles are collected and thrown at the last erected vestiges of concupiscent powers. Costanza and Alan address messages to their multiple, hypothetical futures, encapsulated in bottles without labels or in bicolored pills.
Chronicles of an end of the world that dances in real time, but where nothing is ever finished. Entropy offers its cracks to the resurgence of insomniac stories. Always proposing alternative versions, refusing fatality, fighting common sense. Activating stories as one would rekindle a fire, blow on the embers to awaken the insurrection. Telling the same story in all languages, in languages that do not exist.
Costanza Candeloro (1990, IT) lives and works between Italy and Switzerland. She graduated from HEAD-Geneva in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in visual arts. Recently, she participated in Retrofuturo at MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, STATE OF MIND at the Swiss Institute, Milan, H and Audience at Fri Art, Fribourg. She also realized the online project Life-Edit for Fondazione Prada, Milan.
Alan Schmalz (1987, CH) graduated from HEAD-Geneva in 2014. Since 2012 he regularly exhibits in places and institutions such as Forde (Geneva), Swiss Institute (New York), Truth and Consequences (Geneva), Weiss Falk (Basel) or the Friche de la Belle de Mai (Marseille).
