Scope and content
Video work "Stone/Irruption of Reality" is born from the encounter with women who are working ten and more hours per day as stone-breakers and rock-bearers over Buthan mountains' streets (North-East of India). Working women as ancient as the mountains from which they seem to break off; women whose faces convey a profound calmness, although their hands are slaughtered and their faces marked by strain. Video images are since the beginning strictly related with excited voices from New York's Stock Exchange, suggesting a deep connection between economic power and exploitation, between wealth and poverty in the world. This relation is underlined also by Master Alessandro Cipriani's sound concept, that processes stockbrokers' nervous voices into stones' noise, till it gets into a hammer's hard rhythm which beats time of these women's lives, hour after hour and day by day. Reality comes out in all its rawness and its grief.
