By pushing his body to the point of failure, Bresolin strips away the "performer" persona, leaving only the vulnerability of the human form.
The core of the work lies in the exhaustion of the performer .
The Tempting Failure festival is a renowned platform for noise art and transgressive performance, prioritizing works that risk physical or social "failure" to reveal raw human truths. Bresolin’s P.A.A.U. (often interpreted as a play on bureaucratic or clinical acronyms) fits this framework by focusing on the relationship between the body and industrial or mechanical constraints.
The title and aesthetic of the performance suggest a commentary on:
Bresolin typically employs heavy materials or restrictive setups that force the body into a state of struggle.
The piece is not a brief spectacle but a durational trial. The "paper" or documentation of this event (the .mp4 file) captures the transition from controlled movement to the involuntary tremors of fatigue.
P.A.A.U. serves as a stark reminder of the body’s limitations. It challenges the viewer to witness discomfort not as a byproduct, but as the central point of inquiry. Through the lens of the Tempting Failure archives, the performance remains a significant example of early 2010s extreme durational art.
Sound often plays a critical role in Bresolin’s work, with the physical effort translated into a sonic landscape that envelops the audience in the performer's discomfort.
