Abstract
Based on a photograph that stands for a performance by late artist Gina Pane, we try to grasp her motivation to painfully open her body in her actions. Both the document and ‘hearing from pain’, thus the transfer of Pane’s performances into language, evoke doubt. This doubt becomes our initial source.
An audio documentary evolves from words by Gina Pane herself, by the photographer Françoise Masson and from descriptions of her work from a today’s point of view. Gina Pane’s ghost, her memory, is the interviewee of a radio show – between fictitious biography and historical quotes – fragmented, questionable, surprising. The artistic act becomes medium to negotiate the production of knowledge, history and its inscription into the body – as the body itself is the artistic material.
