Time, the passing of time, the signs of it. With the quarantine, most of us suddenly had much more available time on our hands. The perception of time was different. The rhythm changed, everything supposedly slower but how is it that the day often felt shorter?

To explore this subject developing movements related to the mood at different times of the day, day by day. Step by step transform those movements and signs in an open dialogue with my dear artist friend Enza Galantini. Like a shared diary remembering what we are going through in this particular dramatic period that changed the lives of everyone, everywhere.
We agreed that we have always looked for more time. Now in this particular moment, time changes our perception of space and sound. Considering that, from one day to the other so much around us has changed almost beyond belief. Listening to ourselves, an apparent silence, an internal sound--somehow an absence, an absence of what it used to be, what we were used to knowing.
Are we having time to rest?
There might be enough time but we start to identify the coordinates of a “proper time” and the relation between quality and quantity. Probably it's a more intimate sort of time, closer to the human dimension.
A time for reflecting.
Another aspect to consider, that brings us back to movement, is the relationship with our bodies that is changing in this amplified space/time.
After a few weeks of meeting on zoom we decided to pay particular attention to breathing.
Breathing that regulate our heart beats, our mood and the other way around. Breathing is related to the perception of time is also something shared with the persons around us. But what if you can't have anyone around?
We followed a sketch for a possible breathing piece created by Allan Kaprow in 1979 and performed it on zoom between London and New York City.
The result of it is “kaprow-breathing”.
That was our way to explore our Correspondence!
