Angelica Mesiti: The Colour of Saying

The result of a collaboration with dancers, musicians and a sign language choir, this new multi-channel video work by Sydney and Paris-based artist Angelica Mesiti, questions ways of relating to movement, music and silence. The work interprets a series of performance workshops, conducted by Mesiti at the Lilith Performance Studio in Malmö, Sweden.

Exploring the art of ‘speaking with the hand’, Mesiti calls on people from a range of backgrounds to use nonverbal communication and body language in an effort to decode their dynamic ‘gestural languages’. The audience is invited to experience an installation of sculptural movements.
