An installation designed to be exhibited on the windows of the Museo del Novecento in Milan and consists of the reassembly of fragments from Fuori Orario, the famous program conceived by enrico ghezzi. Over the course of 60 minutes, film sequences, montages, theme songs and nocturnal presentations alternate between the early nineties and the end of the 2000s. Fuori Orario is seen fragmentarily, it is thought first of all by separating image and sound: only inside the museum can it be heard and only outside can it be seen. In both cases, the work is made up of superimpositions, forms and words that escape and chase each other. Entering the endless night, the impossibility of an absolute gaze is increasingly revealed. In the construction of the sequences, the previous thought is not forgotten, but it is recontextualized within the same frame, it is put back into the discourse, conscious but uncontrolled reactivation.
