shoes on is an archive of gestures and movements that evolves from the most ancestral forms to typical postures of athletics and dance. Only two pairs of shoes dress the performers’ bodies, becoming a further subject of the scene. An architectural investigation of the body that, in the passage of various attitudes, shows the potential and creative sensitivity of nudity, in accordance with the object that is acted and at the same time acts on the scene and generates the urgency of a rooting, and the need not to take all too seriously.

Inspired by the surrealist current and the images of authors such as Ren Hang, Eveline Bencicova and the photographer Adey, Luna Cenere continues her research on the themes of the body, posture – mainly observed from behind – and gesture. By creating landscapes made of bodies that subtend hidden meanings, scores that reveal the symbolic and not only anthropomorphic nature of our being body.
