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.

White Shadow

In this speculative fiction, all the world’s photographs have suddenly turned into the objects they represent. The video depicts a vertiginous architecture, so devastating that it created new uncontrollable borders and isolated people. Piles of selfies, cats, and meals are scattered everywhere. Text messages evoke a new society living with limitations and suffering from media saturation, sensory overload, and crushing ecological impact. A world where images have taken over, invading and transforming space. They become the only reality that is still visible, as the whole world is turning inwards.

From Beirut to Venus

"... Change is such a recurrent thing in my life" says Omar, so much that he had to learn to deal with it daily. We follow him in Paris, from where he tells us about Beirut, a city he had to leave to abruptly. He also tells us about Venus, a persona born from his personal experiences, through which he claims his queer identity and develops his artistic work. Surrounded by an ever changing city, Omar and Venus begin to rebuilt their, sometimes at the cost of a long and personal journey.

Insulana

A series of eruptions that would transform the Azores archipelago had begun on 27 September 1957. They had started underwater and lasted for thirteen months. Eight days after the first eruption, the island of Faial was completely covered in ash. The consequences were devastating. Sixty years later, Patricia Dauder walked over the solid ash. She travelled to the island of Faial during an artist’s residency at the Arquipélago Centro de Artes Contemporâneas on the island of São Miguel in the Azores. She found herself walking over the roof tiles of the buildings that had once formed a small town and, by 2017, had been exposed by the erosion caused by atmospheric agents. The catastrophe wiped out crops and pastures, although it caused no casualties. The natural forces unleashed by the birth of a new island left the waters contaminated with ashes.
