05.01.2025 HARMEN DE HOOP GAVE BIANCOSHOCK AN ASSIGNMENT: REPAINT SOMETHING OLD.
BIANCOSHOCK: BUIO - PAVIA, 2025 In an abandoned theatre, where time has erased voices and dust has covered memories, Biancoshock has transformed the place into a silent and definitive message. The seats have been painted to reveal an unmistakable word: BUIO (in Italian means darkness). In theatrical jargon, buio is the moment before a new scene, the pause that marks the transition to something new. But here, there will be no new scene. The curtain will never rise again, the silence will never be broken by applause and the dust will continue to accumulate until the final collapse. Letting a place like this die means extinguishing culture, condemning it to an irreversible darkness. This is darkness not as a transition, but as a sentence. A darkness that does not herald a new beginning, but only the end.
