Classic Dance
Sam 32018
Outdoor Project
Rome, Italy
Classic dance is a stop motion video that juxtapose a classic 90’s dance music track and a succession of pictures of classical statues, simulating a choreographic television ballet. The function, as well as the original sacral and rhetorical aura, is lost, and through the movement the statues are being rendered in a fun and ironic way. The sampling of statues ranges between ancient and modern classicism: mythological figures, ancient divinities, olympic athletes, caryatids, noblewomen, renaissance putti and nineteenth-century characters chosen only for their posture or position as a function of this choreographic ballet that celebrates (or criticizes) the emptiness of our time.

- Bio: Sam3 è un artista capace di emozionare utilizzando solo due colori. Il suo lavoro contiene soggetti poetici e significativi realizzati con un uso sintetico del colore. Le sue opere possiedono una profondità emotiva in grado di raccontare storie complesse dove l’essere umano ha sempre una centralità assoluta. Usando solamente il bianco e il nero Sam3 riesce a proporre delle immagini comprensibili, composte perlopiù da composizioni sempre a cavallo tra sogno e realtà. Capace di interfacciarsi con tecniche diverse, l’artista nel 2011 sperimenta lo stop motion: in “Classic Dance” fa ballare e cantare statue classiche con coinvolgente ironia.
