The Bourse de Commerce and the Italian music festival Terraforma present a reading and concert by Italian electronic music artist Lorenzo Senni.
Program
- 7 pm : doors open
- 7 :30 pm : Lorenzo Senni on Windows to Look in
- 8 pm : Lorenzo Senni plays AAT (Advanced Abstract T)
In 2023, artist Lorenzo Senni creates Windows to Look in, a work combining photography and music in line with his research around voyeurism and vandalism. Lorenzo Senni offers the Bourse de Commerce to retrace the creation of Windows to Look in through audio and written documents, and a documentary by Australian director Courtney Herrenberg. The film notably shows the decisive encounter of Lorenzo Senni with the American photographer John Divola, whose 1970s series of photographs Dead Mirrors (1970) was an important source of inspiration for Windows to Look in.
The project is supported by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture under the Italian Council program (2023).
The evening ends with the presentation of the AAT (Advanced Abstract T) performance, a composition of breakdowns, descending bass lines and states gliding between trance, hardstyle and hardcore.
Italian multidisciplinary artist, composer and producer Lorenzo Senni (1983) has been exploring the boundaries of dance music for over ten years, carefully analyzing its constituent elements in order to reuse them in a very different context, with repetition and isolation as key concepts. He thus describes his approach as “trance pointillism” or “rave voyeurism”, sometimes visually reflected in his album illustrations - such as that of a man with his eye peeping through a hole for Persona (2016), or a John Divola photograph of a sunset observed from the window of a run-down building for Scacco Matto (2020).
Terraforma is an environmentally friendly music festival dedicated to artistic experimentation, held each year in the gardens of Villa Arconati, near Milan in Italy. Terraforma is also behind other projects in different cities, such as "Il Pianeta Come Festival", presented at the Bourse de Commerce in January 2023.
