On Sunday 26 April, in the Duomo of OGR, a simple action takes shape, a minimal unit capable of defining a state. It is the work of Marta Magini, who builds tensions between different parts of the moving body through an essential, reiterated gesture.

The performance takes on the qualities of a dance-sculpture, exploring a body suspended between development and obstruction, process and entanglement, evolution and involution. Movement unfolds as a dynamic of compulsive repetition, in which energy progressively accumulates without ever being released.

In dialogue with the sound by Nicola Di Croce, the action occupies the threshold between mobility and immobility, transforming the body into a device that holds, stratifies and intensifies time, generating a dense, sustained presence within the space of the Duomo of OGR.

MARTA MAGINI
Marta Magini (Senigallia, 1995) lives and works in Venice. After completing a bachelor's degree in Design, she graduated in Visual Arts from Università Iuav di Venezia in 2021 and obtained a MAP_PA Master's degree in Performing Arts at the Mattatoio in Rome in 2022. In 2024 she was an artist in residence at MAC Studi d'artista in Padua, and in 2025 at the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice. In 2023 she debuted with the performance "Swinging is like saying no no no", which she presented in various national contexts. Since 2023 she has been collaborating with sound artist Nicola Di Croce on performative, sonic and visual projects. Her research moves between the performing and visual arts. In her work, she examines the performative possibilities of one or more bodies and the relationship between gesture, time and inertia. Minimal units of movement, details of gestures and bodily rituality are explored through extended durations, repetitions and loops. Working on the threshold between mobility and immobility, Magini develops devices that place subject and object, sculpture and moving image in tension.
