OBLIQUA is a group of visual and sound artists based in Barcelona working with different medias and forms. Drawing, projections, photography, film, sound-art, music, text and performance are the main techniques used by OBLI:K. The narrative, if we can call it so, is based on the spontaneous dialogue between the objects/shadows. Sound take an important part as a link and as an aural interpretation of what is seen. Since 2000 Riccardo Massari Spiritini (Verona 1966 -), Oriol Vilapuig (Sabadell 1964) and later Mim Juncà (Girona 1959) are working together realizing performances where sound and visual art form a whole unit.
MUS IN PICE a performance based on simple objects, animated with light, shadow and sound. we present here a trailer (arty movie) and some video extracts of the preparation of the performance Mus in Pice in old latin means Mouse in the Trap. It is an expression used by the French philosopher Montaigne that we use here to describe metaphorically the no-exit condition of Man, the anthropocentric situation as an handicap with no solution… The performance (45 to 50 minuts aproximately) created by OBLI:K changes from time to time and its constant value is represented by a unique dialogue between fragile elements. Objects, paper of different kind, steam, metal thread, balons, and any other sort of recycled material find a role in the performance.
