The exhibition focuses on language as a dynamic force in relation with geological movements, looking across the concept of disfluency as a spontaneous disruption in the ow of language.

Disfluency forms a deep interrelation with geological and ground discontinuity, resulting in seismic and verbal quivering, hesitations, repetitions, prolongations, clots, or revisions. Language, as bodily phenomenon, accrues all expressive bodies, not just humans.

By challenging the notion of flow and fluency as a fixed and stable canon of reference, and disrupting the hegemony of the linear sequences and functionality as the sole productive logic, disfluency establishes a nonlinear thinking. It sets in motion on the cracks of fluency, configuring itself as an alternative for mending the tear between the human and more than human understating. Marco Giordano‘s new exhibition at the gallery Umberto Di Marino, titled Un—Shaped Breath combines sculptural installations, wall pieces and works on papers. A range of different materials, from organic to synthetic and industrial, are combined to form new possibility of making.

An highly experimental technique has been developed for the sculptures, involving the remelting of lava rocks spewed from Mount Etna. This process re-enacts the so called ‘lava flow‘, reflecting on the geological movement from the inside to the outside of the Earth, in relation with the movement of speech from the inside to the outside of the human body, opening up alternative ways of communication with the more than human world.
