Roma è la città delle storie invisibili. Cercale lungo il Tevere e nel cuore di Roma.

"Le storie invisibili non le vede nessuno. Se  provi a scriverle spariscono dalla pagina. Se provi a disegnarle diventano solo colore. Certo, direte. Sono invisibili… Eppure le storie che vi racconterò ci sono, esistono, da qualche parte. Sono come le ragnatele che all’improvviso la luce rende visibili tra i rami di un bosco.  E sono trame leggere. Ogni parola deve essere scelta con cura, altrimenti le storie invisibili volano via, diventano farfalle variopinte e se ne vanno sul primo fiore che passa. Sul cappotto di uno sconosciuto. Fra le trecce di una bambina che ride… Tutti i giorni, ma non lo dite a tutti, le storie invisibili si illuminano. Non c’è niente di strano in questi piccoli miracoli. Sono “epifanie colorate”, i piccoli racconti della luce."

Le storie invisibili di Giovanna Iorio  (Roma, Italy)

Il paese è pieno di storie. Cercale nelle strade, tra le case, nei cortili, sulle panchine.

Il mio paese è pieno di storie (Pietradefusi, Italy)

My idea is to make available some very successful exhibitions at the Tate Modern along the Thames. 

This sound walk uses rare recordings of poets and artists, sounds and much more on one of the most intriguing promenade in London.

My first walk along the Thames begins at the Tate Modern and is dedicated to Bruce Nauman and his sound installation Raw Materials (2005).

Nauman brought together 22 recordings of texts taken from earlier works that span almost 40 years of his career. Walking through the Thames you can now listen again to the  disembodied voices that speak to you, or maybe just to themselves, in a variety of styles. 
Throughout, the tone of voice, the inflection, and variations in rhythms dramatically shift meanings, from diplomatic to psychotic, pleading to bullying, anxiety to mockery.

(Sounds and source UbuWeb. This is a common creatives project)

A walk in the wonderful Kew Gardens listening to poems, sounds and music from archives and collections.

You will find yourself immersed into a touching reality. 

This sound walk will make you laugh, think, reflect, forget.
You will feel happy, sad, nostalgic, euphoric. 

Well known artists or unknown performers will accompany you in a journey through the garden echoes of voices taken from the past and present.

Salerno, città natale, punto di inizio e di eterni ritorni di Alfonso Gatto. La città del mare e della luna, il «capolinea del dolce e lungo errore», il luogo che meglio di tutti incarna la contraddizione di «questo voler partire e questo voler restare insieme».

Alla Salerno di Gatto, ai luoghi sussurrati nell'orecchio della poesia, a quelli divertiti nelle pagine di prosa, a quelli accarezzati mille e mille volte con l'incedere sereno del passo che ritrova la radice, la sound artist Giovanna Iorio in collaborazione con Lucio Lazzaruolo e la Fondazione Gatto dedica la prima passeggiata del progetto "Passeggiate sonore" . 

Ad accompagnarvi nei vicoli di cieli stretti e azzurri, rigattieri, belle donne, strade impervie, barbieri, è proprio la voce di Alfonso Gatto. Una guida eccezionale dunque, che torna a parlarvi con le sue parole.  

Un accurato lavoro di recupero e montaggio di Giovanna Iorio e Lucio Lazzaruolo, con tracce recuperate da Archivi e montate su un percorso sonoro che è memoria emozionante, ritorno della  voce di un  poeta nei luoghi che hanno ispirato la sua poesia.

Located on New Zealand's South Island about 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Dunedin, the tree is known as #ThatWanakaTree.

Many consider the tree, which appears to be rising alone out the water, a symbol of hope.

There are things that are worth bringing back from the past: Dial-a-Poem is certainly one of these.

Dial-a-Poem celebrates 50 years since John Giorno’s public art project launched in New York City. 

Giorno’s Dial-a-Poem connected callers to answering machines playing recordings by poets such as Allen Ginsberg, John Cage and Patti Smith.

This sound walk is a tribute to Giorno's Dial-a-poem

I have selected thirty  poems from John Giorno amazing project Dial a Poem now in Ealing, London. So, just enjoy.

Installazione sonora nel Giardino pubblico di Tolfa

Poesie e racconti di Giovanna Iorio

Voce narrante Dario Albertini (Storie invisibili)
Voce Narrante: Barbara Marchand (La voce degli alberi)

Musiche Lucio Lazzaruolo

Progettazione e realizzazione: Giovanna Iorio

Progetto culturale commissionato dal Comune di Tolfa (luglio 2020)

Quindici incantevoli storie invisibili vi aspettano nel cuore verde di Tolfa. Quindici tappe nel Giardino pubblico che si trasforma in un libro da sfogliare immersi nella natura. Le storie invisibili si nascondono tra i rami degli alberi, nei cespugli, sulle panchine, dentro i nidi. Basta tendere l'orecchio e andare a cercarle.

"Le storie invisibili non le vede nessuno. Se provi a scriverle spariscono dalla pagina. Se provi a disegnarle diventano solo colore. Certo, direte. Sono invisibili… Eppure le storie che ascolterete esistono da qualche parte. Sono come ragnatele che all’improvviso la luce rende visibili tra i rami di un bosco. Trame leggere. 

Ogni storia deve essere ascoltata con cura, altrimenti le storie invisibili diventano farfalle e vanno sul primo fiore che passa. Sul cappotto di uno sconosciuto. Tra le trecce di una bambina che ride.


LA VOCE DEGLI ALBERI

Sedicesima tappa del percorso sonoro nei pressi della panchina letteraria: "Dieci poesie d'amore per un albero".

VOICE PORTRAITS
by Giovanna Iorio

I turn voices into images. I use spectrograms and they represent the voice and its unique digital print. I then reimagine the spectrogram and turn the spectrograms into artworks. I call them "Voice Portraits" and they are the unique representation of the human voice.

 You can see the colours of each voice and listen with your eyes. I exhibited the Voice Portraits in UK and Italy. The exhibition includes a geolocated sound installation: you can  listen to the voices of poets and immerse into the sound that has generated the image. You can scan the QRCode with your device and walk into Poetry!

Giovanna Iorio is an eclectic artist. She combines photography, sound, poetry and prose in her works. She is the founder of the Poetry Sound Library, an interactive map to listen to poets from present and past on a world map. Her works have been part of exhibitions and events.

Voice of trees (Slieve na Calliach, Ireland)

Su per le colline verso la campagna, la mia isola ha straducce solitarie chiuse fra i muri antichi, oltre i quali si stendono frutteti e vigneti che sembrano giardini imperiali. Ha varie spiagge dalla sabbia chiara e delicata, e altre rive più piccole, coperte di ciottoli e conchiglie, e nascoste tra le grandi scogliere.

La Voce degli Alberi (Idroscalo di Ostia)

Poesie e riflessioni di Pier Paolo Pasolini.
by Giovanna Iorio

Passeggiata sonora per ascoltare nei luoghi cari al poeta le sue poesie e riflessione come se la sua voce fosse ancora in questi luoghi amati.

La Voce degli Alberi (Torre di Chia, Soriano nel Cimino)

“La Voce degli Alberi” è una installazione sonora internazionale ideata e realizzata da Giovanna Iorio, artista italiana residente a Londra.

L’artista semina nell’aria la voce dei poeti del passato e contemporanei, creando un nuovo paesaggio sonoro in cui la memoria e la letteratura si fondono alla Natura.

Le voci dei poeti, disseminate nel paesaggio con un sistema di geo localizzazione, appaiono lungo un percorso segnalato su una mappa, e si attivano grazie ad un QRCode camminando tra gli alberi. In questo modo una semplice passeggiata in un parco urbano o nel bosco si trasforma in un’esperienza emozionante e intima.

A Roma, per l’installazione “La Voce degli alberi” l’artista ha scelto gli alberi di Villa Borghese. Le poesie si accendono negli splendidi viali alberati dove torna la voce dei più importanti poeti italiani del Novecento dall’Archivio sonoro Poetry Sound Library: Fortini, Pasolini, Rosselli, Luzi, Ungaretti, Montale e tanti altri da scoprire passeggiando.

https://poetrysoundlibrary.weebly.com/

L'installazione è permanente e cresce, proprio come un albero, con l’aggiunta di nuove voci di poeti italiani contemporanei e internazionali. “La voce degli alberi” è presente anche nel Regno Unito (Hyde Park, Epping Forest), in Irlanda, in Francia (Nizza, Sète, Parigi, Marsiglia), in Italia (Parco Caffarella a Roma, Bologna, Ravenna, Giardino Comunale di Tolfa, Poesia nell’Aria a Narni ecc.), a New York (Central Park), in Nuova Zelanda e Groenlandia.

Voice of Trees

A tribute to sound artist who were inspired by Amsterdam.
Sound installations in the landscape by sound artist Giovanna Iorio.

Installations:

Love poems for a tree
Arthur Pétronio
David Schafer

The sound installation "Voice of Trees" is now in the Sahara Desert to bring attention to the Sahara Desert significant growth over the past century. 

Climate change is largely to blame. 

The installation consists of Love Poems dedicated to trees and rain.

https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/sahara-worlds-largest-desert-climate-change-growth-global-warming-sahel-a8280361.html

"Analysing data collected since 1923, a research team examined the different factors that contributed to changes in rainfall in the Sahara region.

They found the desert, already around the size of the US, had expanded by about 10 per cent over the period covered by this data.


These results have implications for those living in the border region of the Sahara known as the Sahel, but the scientists noted that climate change-driven desertification is not a phenomenon unique to the Sahara.


Their results revealed a combination of natural climate cycles and human-caused climate change that have caused this effect over the past century – with the latter accounting for around a third of the increase.

The study was published in the Journal of Climate.

The trends in Africa of hot summers getting hotter and rainy seasons drying out are linked with factors that include increasing greenhouse gases and aerosols in the atmosphere," said Dr Ming Cai, a programme director at the National Science Foundation, which funded the research:"

A Tribute to Mineko Grimmer "Tower with Garden" in the heart of her land.

A sound installation in memory of the victims of Grenfell with the voices of the poets from the anthology: "Poems for Grenfell Tower" (The Onslaught Press).
I would like to thank all the poets who sent their voice for the installation, Matthew Staunton and Rip Bulkeley for their support with the project.

Through the Voice of Trees - Tallahassee sound walk, you’ll discover local poets who pay homage to Cascades Park, one of the City of Tallahassee’s gems.

By following the route on the Echoes app, visitors will hear a selection of original poems read aloud by the poets themselves.  

Each poem represents a different location within Cascades Park and encourages visitors to discover spots for quiet contemplation. Inspired by the monumental trees and surrounding landscape, these poems serve as a celebration of the unique features of the area. From Smokey Hollow Pond to Centennial Field, visitors can explore the city’s history while enjoying its natural beauty.   

Included in this sound walk are original poems by local poets Summer Hill Seven, Terri Carrion, Michael Rothenberg, and Virgil Suárez. 

Voice of Trees - Tallahassee is a collaboration between the Council on Culture & Arts (COCA), 100 Thousand Poets for Change, and the City of Tallahassee Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Affairs Department.  

This initiative was made possible in partnership with Italian artist Giovanna Iorio who developed the Voice of Trees project in an effort to preserve the voices of poets and link their work to the landscape. Tallahassee and New York City are the only Voice of Trees locations in the United States. Our city joins a global Voice of Trees community which includes Italy, France, England, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Greenland, Ireland, Spain, Japan, and the Netherlands.

Hi, my name is Giovanna Iorio. I turn voices of poets into spectrograms. 

"Murmur, tree of voices " is a piece I composed with all the voices of the poets included in this exhibition. 
Voices in Dialogue is a composition with poets voices and music

LISTEN WITH YOUR EYES:
The tree in front of you is the "Tree of voices". Get closer to see the voice portraits of many international poets (living and past). They are little transparent cubes where the voice shines with its colours. 

LISTEN WITH YOUR SKIN: You can also touch the velvet voice portrait in the frame and on the tree.

Using Louis ghost chairs, the installation Talking chairs by Giovanna Iorio combines the transparency of this iconic chair created by designer Philippe Starck to the colours and sound of her unique voice portraits, spectrograms of the human voice. 

Chairs and human voices will be the only protagonists of this new sound installation that aims to reflect on the possibility of dialogue in a time of isolation.
Philippe Starck described his transparent chair in these terms: “You are not sure exactly what it is but everyone recognises it and sees it as something familiar. It’s here when you want to see it and you can blend it in if you want to be discreet. It is half disappearing, dematerialising. Like all the production of our civilisation.”
Through the “transparent design furnishings” the aesthetic aspect of transparency became accepted globally. In a society where everything that counts must be visible, the invisible becomes a valid alternative. Words, being a product of civilisation, disappear and dematerialise everyday leaving human beings every day more silent in a world of noises.
Starck said that “the universal success of the Louis Ghost chair does not come from its design but from collective memory. The Louis Ghost chair was produced by our collective subconscious and it is only the natural result of our past, our present and our future.”
In this installation we await for curious visitors to sit on the invisible chairs, blended in nature and only revealing the invisible colours of the human voice. Ten authors from Italy, USA and New Zealand have sent their message and voices to reflect on past, present and future. 
Talking chairs invites visitors to a place where chairs will no longer be chairs, but imaginary islands for urban sailors.

Poetry Walk 1 - inspirations

1.	Bright Stars by Christine Vial. BRIGHT STARS. Title is from Keats poem “Bright Star” about his love for that girl next door.(Line 2)Interested in the idea of women/ me as creators( rather than muse) and their recognition (or lack of).

2.	Cedar Tree by Valerie Darville.  A mighty tree reduced to a cold stone stela and plaque.

3.	London Road by Anthony Fisher, standing in London Road reflecting on the past and changes that have occurred. 

4.	Enfield by Karina Vidler.   The poet recalls how important Enfield has been to her family.

5.	Doubting Thomas by Alan Murray.  Written in the voice of my alter-ego, the arch-pessimist, Harry, the poem reflects on that other great pessimist, Thomas Hardy, who married his second wife, Florence Dugdale, in St Andrew’s Church in Enfield. 

6.	Precinct by Christine Vial.  Observational poem built up from visits to Enfield Town precinct.  Focus on those who are lost/outsiders among the merry crowds and consumerism. Final line is from the strap line to the first Alien film   “In Space no one can hear you scream”.

7.	Planting Trees by Mary Duggan.  The poem was inspired by the wonderful presence of the great old tree which sprawls across Enfield's Central library green.

8.	The Silver Fish by Valerie Darville. The poem is a literal description of a walk I took along the New River from Enfield Town to the Town Park on a very hot summers day.

9.	Denmark May 5th 1945 by Anthony Fisher.  An end of the war story of two families.

10.	Conical Corner by Ruth Hanchett.  What inspired me to write Conical Corner is the great sense of history meeting today, the contrast of past and present.

A trubute to the Thames.
(From the archive UbuWeb) 

An extensive iteration of Roni Horn's encyclopedic project to photograph the Thames, staged at the Art Institute of Chicago, saw the artist partner her own signature fluidity with the solidity of the modernist canon. Curated by James Rondeau, this remarkable exhibition, "Some Thames," consisted of seventy-seven framed photographs installed throughout twenty-five galleries devoted to the museum's permanent collection of modern and contemporary art, as well as in its corridors, stairwells, lobbies, offices, and library.

The footnotes that Horn employs in her work usually provide textual counter-points, but in Saying Water, 1999-, a monologue that she performed at the exhibition's opening, literary allusions became discursive. Dressed in black jacket and pants, she assumed the mannered cadence of a poet, showing slides and interrogating her work, her viewers, and herself. Emphasizing in her poses the androgyny of her name, her self-conscious attitude shifted to become by turns conversational, anecdotal, and seductive. Paired with the non-narrative structure of her photography, chains of quotations linked figures as disparate as Emily Dickinson, Hank Williams, and Martin Heidegger. These accumulations reiterated a desire for transparency in the face of opaque mundane experience. "Water is the master verb," stated Horn, "an act of perpetual relation."

Horn's attention to what she characterizes in her accompanying text as "the minuscule," the "aberration that is rare formation," accounts for the work's haunting presence. If we accept Horn's larger project as a sustained meditation on identity, then our task is equally charged by its endless variability. We followed the unexpected contingencies of "Some Thames" like a treasure map. The identification of Monet with water may be cliched, yet as we viewed Horn's photograph next to Matisse's Interior at Nice, 1919-20, a sunny seascape reverted to what it actually consists of, a slice of blue paint. In a gallery of German Expressionism, the sour effect of Ludwig Meidner's 1913 portrait of Max Hermann Neisse was heightened by Horn's mustard-colored photograph. Elsewhere an orange speck on a mottled Thames surface echoed the edge of Clyfford Still's abstraction 1951-52. Not only formal, Horn's edits were also conceptual. Like a liquid connoisseur, she replaced one too many Giacomettis with a photograph in which a brittle black branch matched the paintings' skeletal linearity. Abutting a Juan Gris Portrait of Picasso, 1912, the choppy river informed the jittery gestures on the canvas. Horn's glittering surfaces chimed with the hallucinatory landscape of Roberto Matta Echuarren's The Earth Is a Man, 1942, and the popular Magritte Time Transfixed, 1938, will never seem quite the same after Horn's pairing of the steam from the locomotive with the water's smoky wake. Twins are never truly identical, and by Horn's analogy, water does not reflect us, but rather we reflect the water, in all its confounding mutability.

The theoretical implications of this installation complemented and supplemented the chronology of the museum. We were encouraged to proceed through the modernist canon as if walking beside a river, Horn's quasi-abstract surfaces provoking reciprocal exchanges that marked formal and iconographic similarities between permanent masterpieces and temporary photographs. An allegorical exercise, "Some Thames" partook of and amplified conventional taxonomies while resisting their classification. In most cases, Horn's image was the other to the museum masterpiece, and yet, following its wide-ranging itinerary, the Thames became the figure, the collection the ground. The absence of labels for Horn's series signaled the uncertainty of authorship yet marked the photographs as interlopers. In this project, Horn complicated her system once again. In its insistence on doubling and difference, "Some Thames" first queered the river, then the museum in which we were reflected.

On the Boston Manor Park audio trail, you’ll discover some of the wonderful sounds found here or inspired by this beautiful park in the heart of west London.

I am a sound artist and I live in UK. 
I am the founder of the Poetry Sound Library, an archive that preserves the voices of poets from past and present. 
I research ways to link poetry to the landscape. 
My sound walks are in UK and around the world. 

Among my projects there is "Voice of Trees, a sound walk to discover the voices of the most important poets from the Poetry Sound Library: monumental trees or parks receive a poet's voice and they become part of an inspiring sound installation.
