Yawning <strong>thus became an act of purification<\/strong>, a threshold between malaise and cure, capable of releasing dark energies and restoring a balance between body and spirit.<br>In this project, Claudia Taratufolo recovers that ancestral memory, transforming it into a sensory language that speaks to the present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yawning is also one of the earliest communication tools of human beings: <strong>in pre-linguistic eras it served to convey empathy<\/strong>, <strong>alertness, a sense of belonging.<\/strong> A contagious reflex that contributed to group survival and still reveals its ability to create invisible connections between individuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The installation becomes an immersive environment in which the audience is invited to get involved in this simple yet powerful act.<br>Four speakers, aligned in the center of the space, loop a series of female yawns. The superimposition of the sounds generates a ritual rhythm that grafts itself into the environment and resonates in the body of those who cross the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Remedy for the<\/em> Cure is an invitation to rediscover yawning as a gesture that heals, a bridge between the intimacy of the individual and the collective origin of the human. A minimal action that becomes a communal experience, capable of bringing us back to a shared breath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project, along with all the finalist works from the <strong>&#8220;Normal is Extraordinary&#8221;<\/strong> international contest <strong>,<\/strong> will be on display at the <strong>MAXXI Corner<\/strong> from <strong>Dec. 5 to 8<\/strong> (free admission).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/195Vdf1fNWRB6iAzBqTQQEjvOIFbUFKm6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download PDF<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5438,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-5535","progetto","type-progetto","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/progetto\/5535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/progetto"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/progetto"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grandtourafam.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
