CLUBNIGHT#2 meets AV-Netwerk
installation

“CLUBNIGHT#2” explores the reality of clubbing and, in particular, that of TENAX in Florence, one of the most celebrated venues in the Italian contemporary house scene. The installation combines over 400 photographs taken in the club, printed in different sizes, illuminated by a strobe light and set to music by a looped sound recording, recreating the clubbing experience as a musical and social phenomenon in the exhibition context. Once the visitors enter the installation, they find themselves immersed in an environment where the images appear “alive” and in motion thanks to the repetitive light pulses and the audio track. The sound includes both the DJ’s music and the noises of the dancing crowd cheering in excitement. On the occasion of “CLUBNIGHT#2 meets AV-Netwerk”, the installation turned into a real club for a day featuring a performance by Paquita Gordon, Eddie Danielli and Consuelo Anubi, members of the AV-Netwerk collective.
