ZimmerFrei 是一个艺术家团体，他们的艺术实践是基于影片、戏剧、音乐和行为的交叉而展开。融合了不同的艺术表达方式，结合每次不同的灵感、实践和技术而应用到一个原创的作品中，这些艺术家们创作千变万化的声音和视觉作品。这个团体在2000年组建于意大利的博洛尼亚，成员是Anna Rispoli（艺术家、表演者）、Anna de Manincor（艺术家、影像制作人）、Massimo Carozzi（艺术家、声效设计师）。2008年ZimmerFrei被邀请到Manifesta7，这个当代艺术的双年展每一次都在欧洲不同的国家举行，今年是第一次来到意大利。
经过了与评论人、独立策展人布鲁诺▪迪▪马里诺的长期合作，北京的意大利艺术空间-意中艺术工作室将再次与之携手展出ZimmerFrei的影像作品-《全景罗马》和《全景博洛尼亚》。在那些场景中，相同的装置解码不同城市的空间和居住于其中的不同的人们。
关于这些作品布鲁诺▪迪▪马里诺写道：
对于这些全景的构思并非只是起源于迫切地想要找到与五百年来所取得的美术成就的完美的联系，而且也是想要用影像的方式解析意大利城市中那些现代而古老的场景。同时也存在一种意图-想要使这些场景戏剧化，通过一系列的行为、微小的事件、活动和一些合理的情节使之变得生动。基于这个目的，ZimmerFrei 创作了一种特别的影片装置，使摄相机在一个小时之内360°旋转。这些影像中的环形的全景图拍摄于意大利不同的广场-罗马的人民广场（Piazza del Popolo）、博洛尼亚主广场（Piazza Maggiore），记录了在一个特定时间段（几个小时）内的一系列动作，并在剪接的过程中加快形象的速度，使之简短到几分钟。一方面，天气和光线的变化，白天变成黑夜，黑夜变成白天，行人在镜头前穿梭而过；另一方面，行为要求极为缓慢的动作，从而使摄相机可以将其全面完整地记录下来。有艺术家们参与的这些行为并不是单纯的行为本身，而是更接近于偶发艺术。也有一些其他的表演者，同时还有并不自知被拍摄的路人参与其中。随着时空的转换，两种关于时间的视角产生了冲突-时间自然地流逝与被人为地引起的微小事件以及那些行为所产生的表达之间的冲突-是ZimmerFrei的一个普遍的审美特点。他们的实验构成了一个整体，形成充满了差异性的表达模式：从油画到影片（除风景画而外，其对于时光流逝的表现技法更重要是来自于试验性的影片）；从戏剧到舞蹈（一个被程式化的关于姿态与动作的叙述方式）再到当代音乐（声音、言语、噪音形成了另一个叙述的层面）。
在《全景罗马》（由罗马的Monitor画廊制作）的制作过程中，ZimmerFrei一直在寻找一个可以有360°视野的场景，在那里能够看到地平线的弧度。因此他们选择了罗马人民广场，因为这个广场的名字中含有“人民”二字，但同时也确实位于象征权力的十字路口；另外一个选择这里的原因是，这个广场看似是对称的，但其实是倾斜的，并且因为太阳完全地照耀了它，广场上的街灯也因为一些（对于那些充满理性的头脑和罗马市政府来说）不明所以的原因被打开或关掉。《全景博洛尼亚》是一个博洛尼亚的影像肖像，是为2005年的博洛尼亚夏日艺术节（Bè-Bologna Estate）而制作的，由因之而来的巨大公共场景和博洛尼亚主广场一整天（24小时）的拍摄组成。
此次放映，意中艺术工作室将会对观众介绍ZimmerFrei的这些作品，并就布鲁诺▪迪▪马里诺有关“广场”这个概念解析这些全景作品的一个评论文章进行讲述。

ZimmerFrei is a collective of artists whose practice is located on the crossways of cinema, theater, music and performance. Melting formal languages, the group produces kaleidoscopic sonic and visual works, combining each time diverse inspiration, practices and technologies into an original project. The group originates in Bologna in 2000 and is composed by Anna Rispoli (artist and performer), Anna de Manincor (artist and videomaker), Massimo Carozzi (artist and sound designer). In 2008 ZimmerFrei are invited to Manifesta7, the contemporary art Biennial touring each time to a different country within Europe and showing this year for the first time in Italy.
Renovating a long-term cooperation with critic and indipendent curator Bruno Di Marino, the Beijing based Italian art project space offiCina presents due video works by ZimmeFrei entitled Panorama Roma and Panorama Bologna. In these panoramas the same ‘device’ decodes the space of diverse cities and the characters that inhabit them.
With regard to these works Bruno Di Marino writes:
The idea of these panoramas does not only derive from the creative exigency of finding an ideal connection with five centuries of artistic representations, and to translate into images the urban and historical landscape of some Italian cities. There is also a will to dramatize this landscape, to liven it with a number of actions, micro-events, movements and possible plots. For this purpose ZimmerFrei has created a special cinematic device that allows a camera mounted on it to rotate 360° in exactly an hour. The circular panoramas in these videos were filmed in different Italian squares (Piazza del Popolo in Rome, Piazza Maggiore in Bologna) and record a series of actions filmed in the space of a few hours and sped up in editing to last a few minute only. On the one hand there are weather and light changes, days shifting into nights and nights into days, passers-by walking in front of the lens. On the other are staged actions, performed slowly enough to be fully recorded by the camera. Rather than actions they are proper happenings, to which the artists take part, as well as other performers and the unaware audience. The time alteration, the gap between two dimensions that come into conflict - namely the natural flow of time and the artificial time of the many small events and narrations created by the actions of the performers – is in fact a common feature of ZimmerFrei’s aesthetics. In those experiments different expressive modes come together and become one whole: from painting...to cinema (besides landscape painting, it is also mainly experimental films’ technique of time lapse), from theatre to dance (a stylized narration of gestures and movements) till contemporary music (sounds, words and noises form an additional narrative level).
In Panorama Roma (produced by Monitor Gallery in Rome), ZimmerFrei were looking for a place with a 360° view, a place in the city where it is possible to see the curve of the horizon. Therefore they chose Piazza del Popolo (People’s Square) because it has the name of the people but is located exactly at the crossroads of those places symbolizing power. Another reason to choose it is that it seems symmetrical and in fact is oblique, because sun crosses it entirely and street lamps on it light up or switch off for reasons unknown to any rational mind and also to Rome municipal government. Panorama Bologna is a video portrait of the city of Bologna produced for the festival Bè-Bologna Estate (Bologna Summer) 2005 consisting of a big public set that involved and took up Piazza Maggiore (the city’s main square) for a whole day of 24 hours.
During the screening, offiCina will introduce to the viewers the work of ZimmerFrei and present an essay by Bruno Di Marino that analyses the Panoramas with reference to the concept of square.
