With nature there are no special effects, only consequences
A man is shot inside an empty room and he moves and takes
on positions continuously out of barycentre. The nature of
the lacks of balance is invisible and his ability into standing up in spite of unnatural postures is inexplicable: this video has been realized without special effects but is simply the result of a real shooting of an artificial condition.
With nature there are no special effects, only consequences
outlines a declared state of suspense or unstable equilibrium
between the abstract and the unexpected, control and chance, inertia and sudden shock. To be more precise the exact point of instant contact between the state of foresight
and the extra ordinary.
This work moves along an ideal border-line, the one of meaning, which articulates the difference between possibility
and impossibility, between movement and pose (pause). The
impossible impends on the possible, at least as much as the possible verifies the impossible.
For Flatform, constructing a territory implies stirring events and creating spaces, concepts and inertia. Causing interactions between objects rather than interventions. Promoting relationships of position that are movements. Determining actions rather than depictions.
Flatform is a group of artists founded in 2006 and based in Milan and Berlin. The group works on video and time based
installations including mobile installations. Works by Flatform have been featured in several film festivals all over the world. On February 2011 Arte TV has dedicated part of the program Die Nacht/La Nuit to some works by Flatform.
