Scope and content
Inspired by Italo Calvino's short story by the eponymous title, the video self-reflects on the sensuality of the different mediums: video, b/w film, slide projection, while the different registers of sound (voice over and sound design), are constructed to create an at times cohesive and at times disjunctive narrative. The work also plays on notions of the autobiographical, while feminizing Calvino's text in a contemporary framework. Using documentary images from a personal archive as well as constructed images, this piece, like Calvino's, is a tale of love and technology.
