The Between Land and Sea 2025 catalogue brings together personal contributions from the artists invited to engage with this year’s theme: “Significato.” Each artist was asked to offer a personal contribution and their own definition of the term, transforming the publication into a collective space of passage across practices, languages, and visions.
During the festival, the collective Corps Citoyen presented “BARRANI – The Double Absence”, born as a sound research project that became a stage work, later unfolding into both a performance and a music production, within a field of echoes, reverberations, and words. “Barrani,” in Tunisian Arabic, means foreigner, literally “the one who comes from outside”: an a-topos presence, suspended between origin and arrival, embodying the condition of the “double absence” described by Sayad.
For Corps Citoyen, the renegotiation of “Significato” is constitutive of an ever-evolving identity: an in-between space that challenges binarisms and rewrites, through echoes and gestural archives.
