Doug Aitken: Sleepwalkers

Monica Ponzini
Tutto attorno al MoMA, ogni sera per 4 settimane, una videoinstallazione ha mostrato 5 storie particolari, ambientate in una cittˆ altrettanto particolare. Le storie svelano vita e visioni di donne e uomini interpretati da attori come Donald Sutherland e Tilda Swinton, colti in una quotidianitˆ sbiadita e ripetitiva che, all'improvviso, scivola un'esperienza quasi mistica....

Evil Evolution

Valentina Tanni
Technology progress miracles have always generated utopia and nightmares. Hopeful visions of a better future, but gloomy and catastrophic predictions too.

There's no solution of continuity between one video and another, the only link is himself who decides to switch on the video camera following the instantaneous impetus without an exact plan and then he selects them, he establishes the possible assemblage and he defines the sequence...

Ladytron, E’ Di Nuovo L’ora Delle Streghe

Marco Mancuso
