ARISTIDE RONTINI
Inspired by Pasolini’s fireflies, Aristide Rontini adopts a posture rooted in listening that invites intimate and profound contact. He immerses himself in a sensual and intermittent current from which internal images emerge, creating friction with preconceived ideas about his disabled body. The result is a poetic journey that places the body outside of a single, reassuring interpretation.
