Enrico Pitozzi, an art historian at the University of Bologna who has already published a conversation with Cindy Van Acker in the online art magazine Archée, has produced a trilingual work (Italian, French, and English) which, from a book to a video memory via photographic images, recounts and analyses the production of Van Acker’s six soli, Obvie, Lanx, Antre, Nodal, Nixe, Obtus, as well as Drift, a work from 2013.
Combining interviews with sound and visual leads, diagrams, and workbooks with his own reflections on Van Acker’s work, Pitozzi analyses the compositional aspects and perceptual implications of the aesthetic framework in which the Swiss choreographer’s work is set.
The book, entitled Magnetica – The Choreographic Composition of Cindy Van Acker includes a DVD recording of all the works and is published by Quodlibet, a remarkable publishing house in Italy.
