    Steve Sutton, AKA \u201cSuttsteve\u201d is an habitual Youtube blogger, with a conspicuous group of fans. In one of his monologues he talks about his relation with the online community, the possibilities it offers and its usefulness.
    \nOnce cut out the word Youtube, I have streamed this speech in a public square in south Italy. With an act of appropriation, I turned this character into the fetish of a new mediatic era, against which a monumental square acquires a surreal and quirky atmosphere.<\/p>\n

    Video title: Lilong
    \n2009, 16:42<\/p>\n

    Lilong settlement is a low-rise, ground-related housing pattern, typical of Shanghai. Characterized by a strong sense of neighbourhood and cohesiveness, this typology of estate, constituted by two or more blocks of flats with an inner courtyard, has constituted the prevalent choice of Shanghai inhabitants until 1949. Today, as the urban restyling is taking place, the Lilong typology is quickly disappearing forcing its inhabitants to use public parks rather than its courtyard, for daily physical exercise, variations on Thai Chi and traditional singing.<\/p>\n

    While the urban and human geography of Shanghai is changing and these social activities are performed mainly by elderly people, parks become also stages for fragmented \u201csolo\u201d performances. My video is a peculiar collection of individual portraits, of ambiguous repetitive gestures, shadowed by images of high-rise buildings and bird\u2019s eye views of playgrounds. Whether or not these images are a realist representation of common individual workout, at the same time, they suggest a sense of loss and isolation, confinement and detachment.
    \nThe work is realized after a long period of research about the Feng Shui philosophy, particularly the connection between flows of energy, building materials and techniques, and the human beings’ position in between these dynamic forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
