"From landscape installations to stratifications of bone architecture and research on the planetary system.
In Deserto digitale
(Equilibrio prize 2018, seen at FOG Festival - Triennale Milano) we find all the elements
of the poetic choreography of Nicola Galli, a fertile mind in continuous experimentation, that recently prefers the music of Edgard Varèse.
[...] Huge colored lenses, liturgically maneuvered and overlapped, create a chromatic scale and also act as a screen
for video projection of micro-organisms and for shadow games.
The show creates a sensorial and dreamlike journey - with the beautiful Lied
that evokes 'a great black
sleep' during the prologue - and presents metamorphic postures from reptile and feathered together;
martial struggles with long poles, synchronic solos and duets in relation to the timbric pulsing of music; astronaut
explorations, corporal reconnaissance with probes in the oral cavity; a naked body, which embodies at the
same time a climbing plant or chrysalis coming out of a steel carriage.
Many other sequences evoke no longer a boundless desert but a prolific vegetable, animal and human world."
