The work consists in a performance, which was later turned into a video, commissioned for the exhibition Tornare per Partire, inside the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Villa Croce’s garden. The presence of a fake indigenous man, played by a young actor, deals with the presence of a real one from the West Amazon, who’s been living in Italy for several years. The actor hides himself inside the hybrid garden’s vegetation making his presence barely visible to the public, while the real indio lies down in tranquility under a tree, in front of the exhibition entrance. He talks with people about his native land, and the culture he belongs to. The other one acts like a stranger and talks an invented language. Playing with the concept of “territory”, the work is inspired by the actual persecution of the Amazon Indigenous populations, continuously pulled away, expelled or confined in their own lands. The public is involved inside the work not as an interlocutor but as an essential part, to modify and challenge the development of the whole performance. They are not asked to assume the role of public but to bring the real world inside the act of the performance itself.
