C.O.R.E. Strange foreign bodies Workshop and Performance
58. Why 58 indices? Because 5 + 8 = the members of the body, arms, legs, and head, and the eight regions of the body: the back, the belly, the skull, the face, the buttocks, the genitals, the anus, the throat.
Or else because 5 + 8 = 13 and 13 = 1 & 3, 1 standing for unity (one body) and 3 standing for an endlessly circulating agitation and transformation; dividing and exciting itself among the body’s matter, soul and spirit … Or even: the arcane XIII of the tarot deck designating death, death incorporating the body in an everlasting universal body of mud and
chemical cycles, of heat and stellar bursts.

58 (+1) INDICES ON THE BODY
Index n.17_Proximity and Distance
Performance by AMAE/DE PINTO
Friday 12 July 2013 from 9.00 p.m. throughout 10.00 p.m.
In the framework of the SPUREN symposium, due to be held in the E-Werk space in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, from 12 to 14 July 2013.
Entrance is free of charge.
The theme of the Spuren symposium this year focuses on the link between digital and physical. Current manifestations of Self in our world can be investigated by studying the emergence of new environmental implications and multimedia connections.
The AMAE artists’ collective is partnering with the artist Pier Giorgio De Pinto, continuing to pursue its performances inspired by the essay by the philosopher Jean Luc Nancy entitled 58 Indices on the Body.
After its début in Freiburg’s Municipal Cinema, when the co-operation was consolidated between the Amae/De Pinto artistic partnership and the French philosopher known for his fundamental work Corpus, the project of 58+1 Indices on the Body is now confirming its presence in an even more ambitious setting: Freiburg’s E-Werk cultural centre.
*AMAE: “When De Pinto expressed a wish to create a performance inspired by Nancy’s essay, we answered: why only one and not 58?”
*AMAE: “What Mr Nancy writes is not just philosophy. His writings are poetry: pure art. We set out to capture his voice, to give a dimension of sound to his text and to take that sound into all the places in the world that have the potential to appreciate it.”
*De Pinto: “After attending the début performance, Mr Nancy had words to say that we found immensely moving, filling us with positive energy to drive our project forward. After the solo show I held in 2010 in the MACT/CACT with the title of Corpus, I find that the project of the 58 indices constitutes its necessary continuation.”
*Jean-Luc Nancy: “When I watched the performance by Amae/De Pinto, it made me understand why I wrote the essay of the 58 indices… On the basis of what I had the opportunity to see in this performance, I find it is a text to which I ought to add something. If in due course you manage to present all the indices, the entire project… that would be splendid.”
*Opinions gathered during the workshop at the Municipal Cinema in Freiburg in June 2013.

58 (+1) INDICES ON THE BODY.
Index n.10_The unity of a touch.
A body is also a prison for the soul. In it, the soul pays for a very serious crime whose nature is hard to discern. Which is why the body’s so heavy and awkward for the soul. It has to digest, sleep, excrete, sweat, be defiled, be hurt, fall ill.
From Fifty-eight Indices on the Body (Corpus), Jean-Luc Nancy. New York, Fordham University Press, 2008.
French translation:
Le corps est aussi une prison pour l’âme. Elle y purge une peine dont la nature n’est pas facile à discerner, mais qui fut très grave. C’est pourquoi le corps est très lourd et très malaisé pour l’âme. Il lui faut digérer, dormir, excréter, suer, se salir, se blesser, tomber malade.

Index N.17_Proximity and Distance.
58 (+1) INDICES ON THE BODY. Index n.17_Proximity and Distance.
Body to body, side to side or face to face, aligned or opposed, most often just mixed, tangential, and having little to do with each other. But that’s how bodies, which properly exchange nothing, send one another quantities of signals, notices, winks, or signaletic gestures. A bearing, debonair or lofty, a tensing up, an appeal, a depression, a gravity, a flair. And whatever belongs to the categories of words like youth or old age, work or boredom, force or awkwardness . .. Bodies cross paths, rub up against each other, press each other. Take buses, cross streets, enter supermarkets, step into cars, wait their turn in line, sit down in movie theaters after passing in front of ten other bodies.
From Fifty-eight Indices on the Body (Corpus), Jean-Luc Nancy. New York, Fordham University Press, 2008.
French translation:
Corps à corps, côte à côte ou face à face, alignés ou affrontés, le plus souvent seulement mêlés, tangents, ayant peu à faire entre eux. Mais ainsi les corps qui n’échangent proprement rien s’envoient des quantités de signaux, d’avertissements, de clins d’yeux ou de gestes signalétiques. Une allure débonnaire ou hautaine, une crispation, une séduc- tion, un affaissement, une pesanteur, un éclat. Et tout ce qu’on peut mettre sous des mots comme « jeunesse » ou « vieillesse », comme « travail » ou « ennui », comme « force » ou « gaucherie »… Les corps se croisent, se frôlent, se pressent. Prennent l’autobus, traversent la rue, entrent dans le super- marché, montent dans des voitures, attendent leur tour dans la file, s’asseyent au cinéma après être passés devant dix autres corps.
