short movie #2 (excerpts)
An immersion into a deep psychic, parallel and pataphysical dimension mediated by a hypothetical and estranging cinematographic device where a discouraging presence reveals our limitations, that are compulsory or self-imposed, ruled by “brownian desires.”
This short movie is concerning itself with the relation between human society and the individual. The basic difference is in the presence of a dominant hue, crimson in this case, and a richer scenographic composition combined to the use of a some sort of “periscopic” view as an estranging element.
The crimson colour is the same of previous photographic artworks, like “decrypted signs,” which is very close also to the latent significance that is the base of both: the loss of free will.
“Short movie #2” offers an alternative objectivity, repeatedly hidden inside the non-reality of the appearance that contains it, represented as a scene composition cut in three aesthetically different patterns, each containing the others in symmetric progression.
