Video sculpture

At the beginning of Valério de Araújo Silva‘s video sculpture work, there was the Shostakovich’s opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk in the version of the Czech director Petr Weigl. With It Remains Silent Even As I Speak (2022), a performance was created that exposes the artist‘s body in a semi-public space, gesturally queerly exploring the space of action between Shostakovich and his opera characters. The strict architecture of the furniture contrasts with the free choreography of the body. A chair and a table are also important images of persecution, referencing interrogations and the bureaucracy of censorship.
