In her performances and projects, Sita Pieraccini playfully invites the audience into an active re-enchantment of the senses. Vista di Ninfa was a series of prints inspired by looking at organic matter from the local biome under microscopes and presented in a small clearing on Courtshaw Hill in the Parkhill woods near Lochwinnoch for the Cycle Arts Festival 2022. Surrounding a central tree were seven elemental prints.
Vista di Ninfa drew on Sita’s collaborative work with artist Jamie Wardrop in their live performance work, Strange Loop. In this piece, Sita sang open portals to worlds within worlds, led by the ever evolving, projected microscopic imagery co-created with the audience in a playful attempt to facilitate a reconnection to the magical continuity to all living organisms.
Sita Pieraccini is a performer, maker and musician from Lochwinnoch. Her background in theatre, therapeutic clowning, video and music inform the creation of her work. Sita dedicated Vista di Ninfa to her mum, Alison Anne Pieraccini, whose beautiful drawings and paintings of faeries have inspired her in the making of this series.
