A video essay by Alessandro Quaranta and Toni Cots, in collaboration with CRA’P – Creation Practices and Artistic Research. In Light / Vibration a concern emerges for those places, even anonymous, corporeal and geographical, that are responsible for momentary illuminations and visions of the soul. The research has focused on the conflictivity existing in the interpretation of reality, along with a critique of modernity, using the duplicity of opposites (light/darkness, place/space, sacred/divine), identifying them as a model to explore different authorial videos, interviews and various documentaries. Authors cited: Toni Serra / Abu-Ali, Toni Cots, Fernand Deligny, Esther Freixa i Ràfols, Gian Antonio Gilli, Ariel Jimenez, Alessandro Quaranta, Jesus Rafael Soto, Laurel Swenson, Renaud Victor, Peter Watkins. This video essay is a non-profit research project for educational purposes.

The neutral surface of the screen is continuously traversed by luminous interferences. The surface, defined by the screen, is traversed by a beam of light in multiple directions, revealing bodies of different nature and identity. Light, as a technical resource, names the object and, in its incessant movement, establishes a play of correspondences. Light is the eye that forms a singularity from the whole. Light is the language that isolates from the indistinct noise of sounds.

“Lui ed io” tells the thoughts of a woman as a wife and a mother, and how she lived through these roles between obligation and choice. The woman, filmed through the footage taken by her husband, militant and always far from home, is revealed as opposed to her husband’s world. A reinterpretation of women’s world as a politic act, aiming to tell that love is an act of acceptance of differences, and also that personal memories are part of collective history.
