A young girl on skates is training while listening to music on her headphones. As if in a bubble, she soars in recurring elliptical trajectories, repeating increasingly daring shapes, in a test of physical and existential endurance.
Gaetano Palermo is a multidisciplinary performer and artist living and working between Bologna and Venice. After graduating in Philosophy in Bologna, he studied Performing Arts at the Iuav University of Venice and Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kassel.
