Serpentesse — Book launch + talk

Serpentesse is a sound. The sound that comes before the word, plays at repeating the voice of what it calls. It is formed by the friction of matter, the sliding and the vibration of the world when the world, for an instant, listens to the sound of the breath of life passing through it.

Serpentesse is also a book published by a+mbookstore, with the support of GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, in Turin. It includes over 20 years of Chiara Camoni’s work, with over 200 photographs of her works and installations, as well as 10 sections focused on the exploration of procedural and performative aspects. The book includes 11 texts written by artists and curators who have presented her work internationally, along with an extensive introductory essay by Elena Volpato, the book’s editor.

The book launch included a talk between Elena Volpato and Chiara Camoni, moderated by Matilde Seabra.
