Atto Muto complete project: www.benedettapanisson.com ATTO MUTO (2007) "Atto Muto" (Mute Act) recovers the ancient tradition of the erotic-pornographic oral storytelling. Orality went beyond text censorship, performatively it disappeared in the instant it was told. Sexuality and orality trace an anatomical linear course that goes from the orifices below to the orifices above. The history of the desire is a history of holes to fill and empty. Every act tells about a love story: II Act: a love story between a woman and her mother. Incest; III Act: a love story between a mother and her fetus. Fetism (not existing as decoded paraphilia); IV Act: a love story between a woman and an animal. Zoophilia. Some words about "Atto Muto" by Franco Berardi Bifo: "Sex is almost reduced to silence. While everywhere we uninterruptedly talk about sex, sex doesn't talk anymore. It is the mute act, as Benedetta Panisson talks about in one of her project about pornography. Painful, boring, repetitive, tormenting and incomprehensible but inevitable experience, rite of identification and passage, indispensable to be recognized in a world that doesn't understand anything more about conscious singularity, about aware pleasure, about gratuitousness and grace."
