Giulia Cenci’s large installation Dead Dance, created for the 2022 Venice Biennale, accompanied exhibition visitors to the exit of the Arsenale, and forced them to look towards the sky. Filmed in the artist’s studio in the Tuscan countryside, we follow her creative process: a detailed account of the genesis of the work and the episodes that fueled it. Suspended heads, dismembered horses and dancing skeletons divide the space inside the former stable where the work takes shape. Cenci seamlessly mixes art history references and memories which merge with reflections on ecological themes, and intricate inter-species dynamics: an appeal for awareness of the role that humanity plays in the natural world.
