The show

The MAN Museum of Nuoro presents for the summer, in the spaces of its project room, Je m'appelle Olympia, the winning project of the PAC2021.


Je m'appelle Olympia was born from an "action for hall lights" performed by Alice Guareschi, only once, for a select audience of invited guests, on April 12, 2012 at the Olympia Music Hall, the iconic and legendary Parisian theatre. The 16 photographs that make up this series were taken on the same day as the action, immediately after the live activation of the light choreography in the empty space of the theatre, which involved all thirteen runs of colored lights, permanently integrated into the architecture. With a fixed shot, similar but not identical, following the precise original score composed by the artist, the images return a sequence of different movements of light inside the room. The photographic series thus becomes a new synthesis of the image-idea and of the intention at the origin of the performance: activating a theater without any show, playing it live, reawakening its latent memory, the secret life removed from the viewer's gaze. By breaking down the duration of the action into frames, which can be seen both individually and as a whole, the spatial declination of the work now allows us to embrace the idea in a single glance.


The site-specific installation, designed by the artist for the MAN, displays all the photographs of the series, next to the musical score punctuated, on the staves, by the times of the action, where presences or pauses of the lights replace the musical notes in a complex polyphony. The space – conceived as a small theater – is reached by crossing the entrance curtain, an evocation of access to an audience, but also a border, a limit that separates the place of life from its representation. Immersed in silence, the ideal space of the theater, removed from voices or sounds, puts itself on stage; the light inhabits it, revealing its nature and physiognomy.
