SPRESIANO SHOWER IN THE THAI-SI 2021


From my point of view, Shower poses a challenge to the viewer in a veiling/unveiling game. By multiplying a body not so clearly visible, the artist performs two operations: the observer visual memory appeal, when the body image is forced to be recreated; and a subtle and ironic voyeurism, where the glass creates an obstacle to the erotic drive; poses a body that is at the same time odd and general, recalling the performer and all the women in a moment of extreme intimacy; That’s why the nude in “Shower” from my point of view seems so innocent: where oneself is in an intimate moment dealing with something that is personal and, at the same time, unknown.
