Excerpt from the curatorial text by Francesca Ceccherini

PASSI (13’ 36’’) is the outcome of the encounter
between Alfredo Pirri and Polisonum

A dialogue that arises from two practices and two generations, a spark that sometimes lights up when artists field and share skills and knowledge, when they have the desire to build common paths, to contaminate. For several years Alfredo Pirri has nurtured a deep interest in practices that explore sound language, testified by his collaboration over time with musicians and by the very concept of PASSI, which also consists of a panorama of sounds given by acting, by action of breaking, of its passers-by.

It is here, within this sound abyss, that Pirri invites the Polisonum collective to experiment. PASSI (13 "36 ') is born, a sound composition recorded on vinyl in 30 editions, the result of a defined and rigorous dramaturgy in which technical and narrative skills remain invisible to let emerge the portrait of experience, movement, definition space-time.

Rendered in its purity, the sound of PASSI - composed of unpredictable acoustic signs, creaks, crunches, crackles and rhythmic accents - becomes here the restitution of a threshold, that border between reality and the apparent that we can still question and imagine. And once again, as the mirror shatters, something new is born, a new light comes on, a job comes into the world: now the space can be heard.
