Forecasting
Hands dismantling a keyboard; a face being licked by an animal; a palm caressing moss in the forest. In Forecasting, Barbara Matijević takes these truncated bodies interspersed among the millions of amateur videos available on YouTube, extends them and then reincarnates them on stage. A laptop screen becomes the point of intersection between this two-dimensional world, with its banal or bizarre stories, and a very real body. Created with her long-time accomplice, Giuseppe Chico, this show humorously plays with the way technology has changed our relationship to the body, it draws from the infinite pool of images available to us today. The digital imagination is amplified and poeticised in a research process that adheres as closely as possible to the new modes of self-narration.
