Progetto RIVA 2021
RIVA Project 2021
Path of awareness (2018) was conceived by Berlin artist Katrinem during an artistic residency in Montelupo Fiorentino in collaboration with Tempo Reale. It is a path of mindfulness that explores the individual and personal experience of walking in an open space, paying special attention to the interaction between the sound event connected with the presence of our body (footsteps) and the soundscape (the sound of the surrounding environment): a soundtrack stroll on the interaction between human presence and the landscape around the river. Katrinem’s stroll, measuring the surrounding environment through the presence and the sound of her footsteps, is proposed here in the excerpt shot in the hard regime prison, which was a place of civilian su ering and deprivation of freedom of thought and movement during the years of the antifascist Resistance fight.

In 2017, RIVA launched a series of site-specific installations, workshops, exhibitions, and encounters that enjoyed the active participation of performers, visual artists, photographers, and sound artists invited to spend a period of residency in Tuscany with the goal of elaborating on new projects around the theme of the river. For the first time, the RIVA Project did not only touch on Florence but was extended to three other Tuscan towns crossed by the Arno: Pontassieve, Pelago, and Montelupo Fiorentino. Beginning with a reflection on the environmental and cultural heritage represented by the river and its bonds with the community and the territory, the artists involved in the Project (Davide Virdis, Katrinem, Adrian Paci, Radio Papesse, Studio ++) worked in these three towns collaborating with the local Councils and the communities to give rise to new artistic projects. The project that RIVA 2017 focused on was a performance along the river, followed by an exhibit of Adrian Paci hel

The project that RIVA 2017 focused on was a performance along the river, followed by an exhibit of Adrian Paci held in Florence and Pelago with the contribution of Museo Novecento and MAD Murate Art District, which displayed works by Adrian Paci associated with the theme of water as a metaphor of flow, movement, and migration. Berlin artist Katrinem was hosted in Montelupo Fiorentino for her residency under the curatorship of Tempo Reale, during which she performed and recorded her personal crossing of and ‘listening’ to the soundscape.
Sound artist
Katrinem nasce nel 1969 ad Augsburg, vive e lavora a Linz e a Berlino. L’esame del suono e dello spazio è da tempo parte integrante del suo lavoro artistico.
Da oltre 12 anni, Katrinem studia la fruizione pedonale delle città e la relativa percezione spaziale. Due aspetti della sua attuale ricerca artistica sono: osservare un sito (Platzstudien) e sperimentare personalmente lo spazio mentre si cammina (SchuhzuGehör). Collabora con con artisti e ricercatori come Sam Auinger, Elena Biserna, Gernot Böhme, Elen Flügge, Annea Lockwood, Bruce Odland, Holger Schulze, Penelope Wehrli u.a.

Progetto RIVA
Da oltre 15 anni Katrinem, sound artist di origini tedesche, studia l’interazione tra lo spazio
urbano, il suono e l’azione del camminare. Dal 10 al 12 novembre 2017 Tempo Reale ha proposto in collaborazione con MAD Murate Art District “Path of awareness”, un workshop tenuto dall’artista e indirizzato a sound artist che ha posto l’attenzione sul tratto del fiume Arno che attraversa Montelupo Fiorentino. L’esperienza consisteva in un percorso di consapevolezza (path of awareness) che esplorasse l’esperienza di camminare in uno spazio aperto prestando particolare attenzione all’interazione tra l’elemento sonoro e le architetture circostanti: una passeggiata sonora che genera consapevolezza
sull’integrazione tra fiume e ambiente. Katrinem ha realizzato insieme ai partecipanti
una mappa sonora sul Web che riproponeva il percorso attraverso le note, le registrazioni
e le foto scattate nella prima fase di studio.
