Item 3200 - eidola

Video

The video “looks” at the semantic/ experiential micro-universe made of remembers, by showing some frames of an old super 8 film put on the lens of a mini-dv camera, where the figure of a child means a game dimension typical of the old Super 8. Moreover, it “looks” at the cinema as a sort of material to model. The “schizophrenic eye” – the dialectic question between the mechanical and the real eye - is another aspect of the video, that wants to explore the reality and, in particular, the collapse between its mechanical reproduction and the Nature. The interaction between the artfulness of an old film and the automatic digital reproduction made of pixels, here is seen as a concrete act of love able to give an artistic dimension to this new digital mechanic. The title “eidola”, from the Greek “eidolon” (that means ghost, image) in the Democrito and Leucippo's atomistic philosophy indicates the images of the things that are generated from the collision between the physical atoms of the body and their organs of sense. “The objects continually send in the space around them the images of themselves. These images, called “edola”, go into the eye – by the pupil – so that they can reveal themselves. The air is full of no material images that fly in every direction. The objects constantly send images of themselves, as the snakes lost their skin when they grow up. A sort of perpetual transformation seems to be the ultimate characteristic of the bodies. And the air is constantly crossed by these ghosts, thin transparent coverings”. Democrito
