Lato 'D'
A worn record by Lou Reed, clips of film, texts that run on the video and are erased: traces of D. Sounds and images collected and rearranged, which recompose a simulated portrait, perhaps not resembling its original, but in which an attempt has been made not to lose that found charge of poetry and provocation. This film was made in 1982, on randomly recovered Super 8 material, shot by D., a seventeen-year-old boy, between 1977 and 1978, and completed with texts taken from interviews recorded in the same period. We have tried to transform forgotten finds, made of hallucinated and lucid self-portraits, significant of an original way of experiencing the condition of youth into active and narrated documentation.
