Francesco Jodice lecture | Portrait of Spain: Masterpieces from the Prado
Francesco Jodice's insights into his two video works that accompany 'Portrait of Spain: Masterpieces from the Prado'.
To complement 'Portrait of Spain' the Gallery presents two contemporary video works commissioned by the Prado, by Italian artist Francesco Jodice, that pay tribute to the visitors of the Prado.
In 'The Prado by Francesco Jodice' 2011 a moving 'human atlas' of the museum's visitors is presented, registering the relationship between the vast cultural heritage of the Prado's collections and its audiences.
Video Installation
'Spectaculum Spectatoris' 2011 presents a group portrait of the community that experiences the Prado. The five, synchronised projections show portraits of hundreds of visitors, constructing a record of their interaction with the works of art. Representing the Prado's human landscape, this installation avoids placing the work of art at its centre; rather, the viewer becomes a work of art.
Film
The second part of the work, a short film Prado, reflects the everyday relationship between visitors to the Prado and its collection. Jodice 'fuses' the visitor with the work of art, showing mobile portraits (couples, families, students) in dialogue with the Prado's collection, and once again making the spectator rather than the work of art the protagonist.
