demo station: Campo Teatrale – THE ECHO OF GESTURE

Campo Teatrale presents "THE ECHO OF GESTURE".

A physical performance that embraces the visitors. Bodies move through the exhibition space to tell how a relationship can arise from a glance or a touch. How this relationship transforms and evolves to give life to a community. Openness, encounter, diversity, welcome. A loop of gestures is passed from body to body. It reverberates. It multiplies. It becomes plural. It reaches the visitors, connecting them in a brief pause from the rush of everyday life.

Text curated by Campo Teatrale.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
