              "dead SEEquences" is a video composed of 3770 frames. Working frame by frame, we find that nothing happens inside each single image, but all pass between the frames, in the invisible gap that separe a frame by others. The film is here, but there isn't anything to see, the most important remain invisible and uncertain. There is no truth to discover. The truth is always elsewhere. This is a study about the vanishing of an image. It's the image of a naked body, the most tangible and real thing for a human being. Not a body, but the image of a body. In this gap operate the principle of disappearance: between the object and his image there is a distance, a limit, a separation; this is the functioning of language, the only way we know to relate with the world and the others. Between each word and his meaning we find this distance as an original sin, a gap where the world disappear to be speaked. To communicate, the world and the human being have to disappear. For this, the art have to become "uncommunicative" and "uncommunicable".

              Why do Italians vote Berlusconi? The violence of propaganda, the impotence of citizens, questions of the economy, illicit power relationships... And a catastrophe: the city of L'Aquila devastated by an earthquake... all these elements come together to show how the young Italian democracy has been subdued.

              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

Cholitas, men, dwarfs, superheroes and monsters were the focus of the ring and reflect, in a surreal spectacle a complex reality as the one in Bolivia, in a fresco of the idiosyncrasies, contamination, and culture's myths Andean people. For the Luchadores doesn't matter border's definition between reality and fiction, between the game or victory: what it really matters is to keep fighting.
