E-BOOKS, by Silvia Marcantoni Taddei/AnimaeNoctis
BORN IN NAY métAMOURphose ALIEN APOLLO APPAREL TRISTESSE D'UNE ETOILE NOT ALL THE QUEERNESS IS VISIBLE THE COLLAGE IS US
I was born on November 27, 1973. This is my real date of birth. I will never hide my age.
I am a multimedia artist in AnimaeNoctis duo.
I am not a bourgeois. My ancestors were countrymen and tailors.
I trust G-D. I trust Jesus Christ.
I am ashamed of the poems I published before 2016. I lacked mental alertness. My syntax was arbitrarily scattered and futile. I don't mean that every twisted syntax derives from psychiatric pain. I am only saying this was my case: I was servile to my pain. So I repudiate my literary bulky waste: the poems I made, the positive critical feedback they had, my academic works. I apologize to all the sincere admirers I had.
The only poetic phase I want to be read is this. My poetry and prose works in my mothertongue are self-published.
I am no more used to be a scholar and an editor. I can't stand the desperate incorporeal poet I was in the years 2001-2013.
I left Italy after the COVID-19 pandemic: brain drain, body drain.
I will not persevere in hiding my sexuality. Sex is both my hub and my engine. In fact, my written art was an acceptable and stylish technique to deny my bodily life (sex, dance, performance, live music, modeling). This technique was insincere, though. And I knew it deep down.
I was severely bullied in my childhood and teens. My pesterers said I was a womanish boy: a flawed freak with a sugary whispering voice. I remade my voice and my body. What am I, actually? A woman proud of her cock + a man proud of his womanly skills. Not all the queerness is visible.
My only Italian literary mentor was Edoardo Sanguineti, but I don't owe him any career help.
My whole artsy life before the duo is an unbalanced preparation to AnimaeNoctis. I don't miss my past life. No throwback is possible. I had to shed my art skin.
I am married to Silvia Marcantoni Taddei.
I do not trust any totalitarian behaviour/belief/entity.
If Communism means Antifascism, I am a Communist. If Communism means complete and lethal revolution, I am not a Communist. I can't join any act of political violence. Bourgeoisie sucks: OK, but may you kill even one fucking bourgeois?
I do not belong to any political matrix.
I do not claim any educational qualification. Of course I have a qualification. I mean: I was used to work with it, but not now.
I think Avant-garde can be an amuseable factory.
The sane showbiz + sexdom world is my world.
I think my body is the first test animal to experiment with.
My identity matters, but my behavior is the very proof of my identity.
It takes caution not to get poisoned and not to poison others.
My activity does not want to be the rampant witness of any system decay. I do not want to serve as the mapper of any volatile decadence. I am basically an entertainer and entertainers entice me.
In my practice, installation and performance are not opposites.
«It is only after you have come to know the surface of things [...] that you can venture to seek what is underneath. But the surface of things is inexhaustible» (Italo Calvino, Palomar). I want to deal with the surface.
My works and acts look for honest visibility.
My masks are not my labels. I can change my masks or avoid them at all. They are not deceptive.
I have experienced a body that has been sick, healthy, fat, thin, muscular, vulnerable, unsexy, desirable, toothless, diagnosed with depression, awkward, athletic, workaholic, inert. I have experienced plenty of body possibilities. My different bodies looked like parts of an illusion I can barely explain. I am not the plain mapper of these things. As of now, this is the 2D me that sums up the 3D one.
None of my images is manipulated. They are consistent with my appearence.
We tend to avoid the pure fiction style. Our art items are pure up-to-date documentaries with a spicy bit of figment. We actually do what we do: deep lust + harder-than-it-seems work.
Apathy is the ultimate thing to deconstruct. More information is forthcoming.
