Filmography Movies
Production
Screen Glare
A text, some images, and an unstable arrangement of durations to which one can devote a fluctuating form of attention.
Collage
Considerations on collage as a cognitive act in artists’ cinema. A pedagogical film adrift: 35mm photographs and other materials collected over the last fifteen years by artist Stefano Miraglia meet a text written by Baptiste Jopeck and the voice of Margaux Guillemard.
J'écoute l'univers
In the vain hope of breaking a smartphone with a film, I present to you a series of truthful images and sounds. City lights set out to communicate something, details of sixties paperback books meet the title of a French science fiction novel, and the bottom of a bridge is the beginning of the cosmos (and I walk on it).
Grotta
In 1907 Herman Hesse spent a few days mediating and fasting in a cave near Monte Verità. During these days he collected the visions and insights that went on to be very influential in his thinking and shaped some of the most important works of his literary career. The images and sounds of this film were shot there and are a homage to this cave and its possible invocations. Grotta is part of Fieldworks, an ongoing experiment with ambient video and radio frequencies.
