Plein air originates from the experience of artistic experimentation with childhood and the use of tactile practices as a means of adherence to the self and encounter with the other from oneself. The co-presence of concrete datum and imaginative dimension that the experience of touch allows proves to be extremely generative for creative purposes and capable of creating images that are now familiar, now discordant and of constructing a scenic temperature at once raw and magical. These two dimensions feed off each other, creating even very sudden deviations that give rise to incongruent imagery and unexpected synaesthesia.

Marina Donatone‘s work has been supported byMattatoio di Roma, Lavanderia a Vapore, Santarcangelo Festival, Teatro India – Teatro di Roma, Short Theatre, Sín Arts Culture Centre in Budapest, OperaEstate and C.U.R.A.
