Keywords:
Buffoonery, Urban Intervention, Performativity, City, Anti-tourismAbstract
The article aims to investigate the Bassibus action, created and performed by the contemporary buffoon Leo Bassi, who travels through themes and problems that affect the place of the city and its inhabitants. An action that parodies the touristic activity, Bassibus promotes with its participants a dynamics of occupation of the city and questioning about the forces that affect it. It is concluded that this Bassi’s praxis creates an artistic phenomenon that touches the political as an intersubjective process of reconfiguration of the perceptible and the thinkable, carrying a call for confrontation and resistance, both to the artist and to the spectator/participant, in the face of capture devices and expropriation of desire.Downloads
