Video art, no dialogues
April 28th, 2018, 9 pm, Exworks – Premiere
Un ultimo giro (One last ride) is an audiovisual reworking of the photographic archive of th famous amusement ride company Zamperla. Those images had a technical function and were part of a production process, were not conceived with any aesthetic purpose. The beauty of those images is an unnecessary attribute, which they possess almost unknowingly. That beauty is revealed through a dreamlike flux and a hypnotic music.
