The scenic setup was conceived to draw the viewer gradually and almost imperceptibly into the work: a room with twelve photographic images, a table, a chair, a light, two microphones (A and B), and the performer-orator alternating between critical action and storytelling. Fifty years on, the video recording of that event has been transformed into a book: a pure transcription, word for word, image for image, of what happened then. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe essay by Bruno Corà situates \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElisabetta d'Inghilterra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e within Agnetti's broader practice – from his early encounter with the Piccolo Teatro school in Milan to the development of a subtractive poetics in which performance strips away everything superfluous: actors, costumes, sets, text. What remains is the word in its irreducible ambiguity, and the object as a \"reminder\" around which a discourse is built. \"Perception is gaining consciousness\", Agnetti declared, \"not celebration\". A text by Germana Agnetti, daughter of the artist, reflects on what changes – and what is gained and lost – when a performance becomes a book.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bruno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54304614023501,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0164\/7630\/7520\/files\/Agnetti_Elisabettad_inghilterra_axisaxis.jpg?v=1784117183","url":"https:\/\/shop.b-r-u-n-o.it\/products\/vincenzo-agnetti-elisabetta-dinghilterra-lecture-performance-37%c2%aa-biennale-di-venezia-1976","provider":"bruno","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
