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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essay by Bruno Corà situates Elisabetta d'Inghilterra 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\/p\u003e","brand":"Cahier Central","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58856524480844,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/7577\/7976\/files\/232323232_ac8007b6-2c08-431e-a870-56d15902bbff.jpg?v=1789641322","url":"https:\/\/cahiercentral.com\/products\/elisabetta-dinghilterra-vincenzo-agnetti","provider":"Cahier Central","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
