Témoignage:

Avec Trapèze soyez à l'aise, 1979 | Daniel Farioli

Description:

First act of a performance in three parts, a single scenario developed in three different places at three different times separated by several months.
Daniel Farioli is nearly blind, his head covered with a thick veil maintained by a wooden trapeze, he is wandering around CALIBRE 33, creating, altering objects, manipulating materials. The performance stops at a predetermined moment. It picks up again in another place several months later.

Daniel Farioli consistently uses the trapeze throughout his work.

It is his way of standing against Western civilization, which is based on the rectangle, and more generally of excluding himself from our certainties. Even his written texts have a trapeze-like construction.

Partial transcript of a conversation with Daniel Farioli, 2012.
[other sources led us to entitle this performance I'm flying naturally; it is supposed to have been held in November 1978, for the opening of CALIBRE 33 is it art ? All traces and memories of the second part of this performance have vanished, Editor’s note].
