Istanbul sauvage

Straddling two continents, the pearl of the Bosphorus is home to little-known wildlife. Despite pollution and the presence of countless boats on the river, various species of dolphins live in the strait. Wild boars swimming away from the rapid urbanization are sometimes spotted there. Every year, tens of thousands of migratory birds such as storks, buzzards, and short-toed eagles also fly over Istanbul. On the outskirts of the city, a new animal species, a cross between a wolf and a stray dog, is spreading.

Ciacco

Immersed in half darkness, the audience is exposed to sounds that are equally fascinating and repulsive: growls, whines, and barks assault the viewer relentlessly. On the screen, multiform and elusive images alternate, wavering between reality and representation, narrative of the present and atemporal evolutions, and imagination and perception. A disquieting presence progressively emerges out of a blurred dimension, while in the background a sound like rain can be heard. The unusual feral beast might be Cerberus, tormenting «the people that are there submerged» like a dog, while the «rain» is the endless dripping, torturing the depraved people relegated in etèrnum, forever, to Dante’s third circle: that of the gluttons, such as Ciacco himself.
