Premio Vienna Artists
Antonio Perticara
Bruno
Performance (approx. 30’)
Antonio’s personal story intersects with that of the greatest wrestler in history, his childhood hero Bruno Sammartino. Bruno is a pataphysical story that questions and plays with the logics of infotainment and propaganda.
Antonio Perticara is a visual and performance artist. Drawing on conspiracism, communicative guerrilla tactics and entertainment, his practice attempts to hijack and reassemble dominant narratives to imagine personal and collective counter-histories.
Elena Rivoltini
Incanto
Incanto is a foraging séance for voice, somatic surrealism and hand-gathered Viennese wild herbs. Emerging from in and canto (singing), Incanto unfolds as a speculative psalmody that rewrites personal archives and herbaria, staging the mouth as a porous threshold between inside and outside bodies.
Elena Rivoltini is a performer, sound artist, forager and curator whose practice engages voice, archives and embodied methodologies. Her works weave somatic speculation, poetics of listening and edible ecologies. She is the founder of Archive of Voices, a project on anarchival poetics and the hauntology of voices, and curator of CASASTUDIO, a Milan-based space for alternative pedagogies and radical softness. She has collaborated with Santarcangelo Festival, Venice Biennale of Music and Theater, Triennale Milano, Centrale Fies, Kunsthal 44Møen, LAC Lugano, Teatro do Bairro Alto Lisboa and Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles.
