Francesca Sproccati

Out of Me, Inside You is a live-set composed by video fragments, words and sounds.

Out of me, Inside You is a performance-installation where contemplation and rêverie are welcome like falling asleep and getting bored.

A possible collective meditation, a suspension, a truce. Francesca Sproccati creates an intimate atmosphere between loops of sound chords and light vibrations. A time between sleep and wakefulness to ask oneself: is melancholy a state of mind, often perceived as immobile, that should be avoided because it might slow down our productivity? Could we, instead, imagine a revolutionary movement starting precisely from this feeling of exhaustion? 

Included in the performance is the listening of the vinyl Out of Me, Inside You. Il tempo di rivoluzione è un giro attorno al sole., an extension of the work itself. The record acts as a prelude and echo Inside the performance. Whereas outside it's tangible matter that can be carried into anyone’s intimacy.



A contemplative dimension of abandonment between video and sound.
(Giorgio Thoeni, Azione)




Out of Me, Inside You has been declined into several editions, depending on the different contexts. For example: an extended edition featuring Adriano Iiriti aka Under Changeover, a radio edition for Cervelli in Tempesta by Lumpen Station (︎) and an installation for La Regionale 2023-2024.



  Can solitude be welcoming? And the universe?
    The contemplating audience becomes part of the performance,
just by being present and feeling their sensations resonate with one voice: a common breath.
(Sofia Aliprandi, Keep Fit With Radio)



Melancholia party.
Let’s have fun.
Maybe it looks very serious. In a way It is.
There is some urgency. To get closer.
But melancholia is just a pretext.
To be here together. To realize that we are here together.
