Schnitt

Italian duo Schnitt, presents at L.E.V. Matadero the world premiere of their new show White Balance. A project in which the artists apply the interpretation of data from the photographic process of white balance to the interaction between audio and video, inverting their use.

In White Balance, Schnitt transforms the video signal into a real time sound generator. On stage, four photosensitive devices react to the light pulses of four video projectors, creating the sound structure of the performance. The live show develops through the audiovisual interaction between the two artists, the electronic devices and the main screen.

With extreme audiovisual abstraction and a process of progressive subtraction, the duo searches for essential spaces purified of any superfluous element, exploring the boundary between the real and the imaginary until the threshold of nowhere.
