Anche le parole uccidono by Gruppo Sinestetico, Italy
1'00 mn, video, 2008

Gruppo Sinestetico (founded in 1999) proposes itself in a "synesthetic" way, using and raising the sinestesia in art, in performance, in action, in image, and in contact/contagion, using video, photo and video-installation.
Their manifesto (1999, year of foundation) has a precise perspective and a focusing vision of the purpose to express ourselves in a "synesthetic" way, with the involvement of all five senses, and obviously also the sixth one... Therefore, here's the job of the group: introduce and compare the man and his/her daily life, exalting virtues or reporting abuses and overbearingness.
This video performance "Anche le Parole Uccidono" ("Words can kill") faces the problem of the use of words. Through the visual poetry they introduce a message that has two interpretations: war and death. The "decisional" word in this perspective has prerogative of death as much as a kalasnikof can have.

They take leave using a "stolen" sentence: "Everything must justify its presence except the work of art"
