Nuoro's unfinished sports hall, a scenic ruin lost in the countryside beyond the last urban offshoots, is the film's protagonist. The undisputed star. Planned during the late 1990s, contracted out in 2012, the project was finally shelved in 2017: what remains is a forest of concrete hubbed pylons, with its mammoth entrance gate, a barren esplanade surrounded by piles of debris and wild vegetation. Through this movie, Alterazioni Video depicts the “Incompiuto” (Unfinished) through a new interpretative key which overturns the scornful conception surrounding Italian unfinished public works. The phenomenon is explored on all its complexity; thanks to a plurality of registers, references to ancient Greek mythology, youtube flavored neorealism, spaghetti western stereotypes with with Sci-Fi twists and turns which will eventually end up flirting with a meta-documentaristic approach. Among Nuoro’s Palasport, different characters roam freely; there is the grumpy guardian who time travels, a young tiktoker lost in the brambles, 4 red necks musician tourists, and a dowsing surveyor fond of monologues and digging. They all have different desires which lead them to different actions, almost as if they were willing characters driven around the concrete stage by that humoungus deus ex machina that is none other than the forgotten ruins of the unfinished sports hall.

Alterazioni Video is a group of five artists founded in Milan in 2004 and now based in New York, Berlin, Faro and Palermo. The members of the group are Paololuca Barbieri Marchi, Alberto Caffarelli, Matteo Erenbourg, Andrea Masu and Giacomo Porfiri. Their work has been exhibited internationally in museums and art institutions such as: Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin 2005, 52nd International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale 2007, Manifesta 7 Rovereto 2008, Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture 2009, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Turin 2010, Museo Maxxi, Rome 2010, Performa 09 and 11 New York, MoMA PS1 Performance Dome New York 2012, Greene Naftali Gallery, New York 2013, PAC Milan 2014, Hamburger Bahnhof Museum Berlin 2015, Quadriennale di Roma 2016, Film Retrospective at Spazio Oberdan Milan 2016, Manifesta 12 Palermo 2018, Galleria Campoli Presti Paris 2019, VAC Foundation Venice 2019 and, Triennale Milan 2020, Museo Nivola Nuoro 2021 In 2007, for the 52nd Venice Biennale, in the main exhibition curated by Robert Storr, they presented "Painting" a work documenting the continuous layering of writing and erasures on the exterior walls of the San Vittore prison in Milan. Writings, images and attempts at censorship become the linguistic elements of one work, one large "painting" that documents, as it progresses, the life of a community. They are also known for creating "Unfinished." For more than 15 years, the art collective Alterazioni Video has been investigating the phenomenon of unfinished public works in Italy, documenting and mapping more than 750 buildings scattered throughout the country, works that were never completed and therefore had no function, becoming monuments to something that never existed. These unfinished works are the ruins of the contemporary era, the perfect interpretive paradigm for understanding our country's recent history. This study led to the definition of a new architectural style: Unfinished. In 2009 the group was invited together with Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson to participate in the performing art biennial Performa 09 NY to perform Symphony No. 1. In 2015 for the exhibition "Dieter Roth und die Musik," curated by Gabriele Knapstein at the Hamburger Bahnhof museum in Berlin they presented Symphony No. 2 Since 2009, the collective has produced a series of 12 docu-films called TurboFilm. TurboFilm is a filmic system or methodology, which refers to the continuous reconfiguration of experience in everyday life and social relations, work, economics, and politics. It aims to raise questions about problematic issues through a cross-format multi-format production that can circulate through different media platforms. In 2016, Cineteca Italiana dedicated a retrospective at Spazio Oberdan in Milan. They have recently collaborated with renowned fashion designer Virgil Abloh as art directors for Off-White's fashion show in Paris for the 2019 menswear collection, as well as collaborating on works inspired by the Incompiuto project presented at the Campoli Presti Gallery. They have published two volumes: Turbo Film - the uncertain future of moving images published by Lupetti Editore Incompiuto - the birth of a style published by Humboldt Books

Dans la banlieue enneigée de Paris, des jeunes s?aventurent dans une friche industrielle. Leur passage dans ce tas de ruines redonne peu à peu un nouveau souffle de vie dans ce refuge.

En passant par le front du Bassac, dans Phnom Penh, si l?on est un voyageur attentif, on sera surpris de voir surgir une construction qui pourrait avoir l?air d?un immeuble, mais qui ressemble davantage à un grouillement architectural étonnant. On ne perçoit tout d?abord qu?un enchevêtrement de lignes bleues, de points verts et d?étoffes colorées, en suspension sur ce qui devait être autrefois une façade blanche d?architecture moderne.On apprend alors que ce grand organisme vivant a été construit par l?architecte cambodgien Van Molyvann sur le modèle de l?utopie de la Cité radieuse...

Jean Luc Vilmouth was born in Moselle and is now living in Paris. Since 1978, he has been exhibiting his works throughout the world. He also works for art and architecture magazines and writes books on art. He realised several public works. As a director, he made several short films and video installations.

?Herbarium? is a cinematographic observation based on the changes in the classification of plants. Going from classical taxonomy to genetic data-storage, Visser wonders what is left when the plant its separated from its physical features. What is a plant to us, without the sensation of smell, texture and its visual appearance? In a long abandoned tropical greenhouse formerly used by the biology faculty of Wageningen University, during a full moon night, the dry plants are reanimated, in a visual language where nature is shown as an artefact, devoid of any natural context.

Barbara Visser researches the relationship between registration and dramatization. Her work is driven by fascinations around original and copy, historical narratives and constructed biographies, which she translates into subjective documentaries. By questioning the authenticity of images and their interpretation by the viewer, she influences the shape and the content of the work simultaneously. Projects are executed in an array of media: photography, film, video, text, printed matter and performance. Infiltrating into existing systems leads to a wide diversity of works. Visser has participated in the Bienal de Sao Paulo, Brazil (2006), Manifesta, Trento, Italy (2008), Architecture Biennale, Dutch Pavillion, Venice, Italy (2010), Art Biennale, Dutch Pavillion group show (2011). In 2011 and 12 she?s written and directed the film C.K. (2012). Awards for her work include the Dutch Cultural Media Fund Documentary Award (2010), the dr. A. H. Heineken Award for art and science (2008)
, David Roell Prize 2007, Prins Bernhard Foundation (2007) Barbara Visser studied photography and audiovisual arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, the Cooper Union in New York and the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Since 1992 her work is shown internationally. Her work is represented by Annet Gelink Gallery, Amsterdam.

"Actors of Profane History" includes a series of recently discovered casting images from Sergei Eisenstein’s destroyed film "Bezhin Meadow," (1935-1937) preserved today at the Russian State Archive of Literature and Arts. It questions the interrelation between the cinematographic use of film extras, who usually appear only in the background of major cinema productions, and the possibility of acting in political history, in itself closely connected to the history of representation. In his films, Eisenstein worked almost entirely with non-professional actors, the so-called "tipazhes." Deriving from the French word "typage," the Russian “tipazh” was a concept for denoting a typical appearance, giving an immediate visual presence to the palpable characteristics of a social type. This reading of human appearance as evidence of social and political conditions elucidates parallels between cinema and criminalistic as well as physiognomic paradigms. Yet, in 1935, when Eisenstein was commissioned to shoot Bezhin Meadow, such “irregular types” were already banned from official screens. The censured and destroyed film tells the story of Pavlik Morozov, a fourteen year old pioneer who lived in the village of Gerasimovka and was killed in 1932 by his family after denouncing his father for being opposed to the collectivisation of the land. After the editing of the film went through at least two different versions, the production was definitively stopped in March 1937. The film was withdrawn and disappeared in the deposits of Mosfilm, where it was eventually destroyed in the bombing of Moscow during the Second World War. In 1967, Naum Kleiman and Sergei Jutkevic reconstructed a version of Bezhin Meadow based on a surviving sequence of individual frames.

Ducks & Cars joue de l'attente du spectateur. Lentement, comme une goutte de pluie qui se forme, une image se construit et disparaît dans le même instant. Doucement et calmement, de cette lenteur et de cette tension latente, nous apparaît un sujet enfantin : Ducks & Cars. La vidéo est pensée pour être projetée en arrière plan comme par exemple la prestation d'un groupe de musique ou lors de tout autre événement. Cela fait d'avantage référence à la conception classique de la peinture qu'à l'animation. Les symboles qui construisent l'image dérivent des caractères utilisées pour le tricot. Pas d'ASCII.

The three-minute film, a snapshot of an encounter, is based on concrete experience. In an accompanying note, the filmmaker writes: ?For years, weeks, I have had to visit my mother and am regularly overwhelmed by the purpose of life, compassion, and anticipation of my own passing.? This experience is condensed in the film.

Fire ravages relentlessly through paper. Individual words, ragged sentences, loose thoughts have broken free of their contexts and flare up once again before melting away forever: ?unfaithful,? father,? ?on 17 October, K. complained of overwork,? ?I also think about incest and wanting to save sister.? The clearly legible handwriting on white sheets of paper has given up its search for meaning and surrenders to the flames. Artist Friedl von Gröller hands over several-page-long psychoanalytical protocols from her professional practice as psychoanalyst to the funeral pyre flaring in the middle of a snow-covered landscape. The notes from hundreds of hours of ?talking cure? extinguish silently, almost blithely. They abdicate their cognizance of the long therapy sessions between analyst and patient. But the burning paper is not the only storage medium that knows of Groller?s notes. The short film My Psychoanalytic Notes begins with close-ups of people?s faces?psychoanalysts?reading, intently studying Gröller?s protocols. Only then does the camera turn away from the faces?with an increasingly faster pan?toward a snowy forest landscape and the pile of burning books: As though the filmmaker wanted to once again call up her own profession as witness, which will remember her work even after the cold fire destroys all traces. The camera moves in an extreme close-up across the pages, leafs through once again. Yet it is just as fascinated by the bizarre ash formations that arise from the act of burning as it is by the notes and sentences dying on them. In the end, the camera digresses once more, wanders across the snow and wood, and ultimately turns to the backlight of the sky. The image fades, becomes white like snow?or white like a clean sheet of paper, on which a new stage of life can be recorded. (Alexandra Seibel) Translation: Lisa Rosenblatt

Die Narbe / The Scar is a film project in two parts by Burkhard von Harder ? in both cases helicopter flights following the remnants of the former inner German divide and demarcation line 20 years after the reunification. Part I ? Westberlin follows the former death strip in 76 minutes, part II takes the viewer in 16 hours realtime from the Czech border to the Baltic Sea up North along 1378 km through four seasons in three years: a line becomes a circle that turns into a spiral. The pod version of Part II (Von Prex bis Priwall) is envisioned as 28 volumes representing 28 years of oppression, covering 50 km each. So far 4 double volumes condense the experience.

Burkhard von Harder wurde 1954 auf der Nordseeinsel Sylt geboren. Fruehe Auseinandersetzung mit den Medien Photographie und Film. Studium an der Filmschule der New York University (1977), Student von Prof. Willy Fleckhaus (1983). Die anfaenglich widerstrebende Auseinandersetzung mit der deutschen Vergangenheit und deutschen Schuld fuehrt zu einer Reihe fotografisch-filmischer Projekte, was bis in die Jetztzeit anhaelt. Das Cold War Projekt, das auf mehreren tausend verwitterten und anonymen Negativen aus der Zeit des Kalten Krieges in der ehemaligen USSR basiert, wird im Fruehsommer 2013 zentraler Bestandteil der ersten Photo Art Biennale der Ukraine. bvh, 2012

Ein sehr kurzes Stück für Bankdirektoren (fr: une très courte pièce pour directeurs de banque)est un opéra solo, monté sans autorisation dans une banque; une pièce d'une extrême sensibilité, qui traite d'une manière de "humer la folie" et du retour à "l'ennui, à l'odeur de tisane au tilleul, de l'adaptation raisonnable". (Critique du TAZ). Une autre pièce, celle du Libretto, est mise en scène et superposée à un métaniveau, à l'instar d'un titre: comme le chant n'est, dans les banques, toléré que dans des limites très restreintes, la police est alertée en très peu de temps. Des commandos des forces spéciales, qui interviennent généralement sur des prises d'otages ou des gros cambriolages, attaquent le bâtiment. Ils ne trouvent en face d'eux qu'une unique actrice à la sensibilité apparemment à fleur de peau, dont la fragilité est portée à son comble par sa tenue,une simple robe de papier. Si on la touchait brutalement ou si on la saisissait, elle se retrouverait nue (ce que, bien sûr, personne ne souhaite.)C'est le début d'une chorégraphie qui se trouve entre mise en scène et réalité... ...que la banque ait retiré sa plainte pour intrusion (dans les 8 cas) par souci de son image de marque, montre comment on peut , à l'aide de (méta-)planification, utiliser les mécanismes du marché dans un but artistique et politique, ainsi que pour sa propre protection... En tout, environ une demi-douzaine de projets du même type ont été jusqu'ici réalisés et montrés grâce à des caméras vidéo (manifestations comme forme d'art, installation d'une boîte d'informations " au nom du gouvernement fédéral" dans la zone piétonne de Potsdam, par laquelle nous présentions le grand projet (fictif) "nouveaux Länder - nouvelles identités ", avec pour fonction de développer pour les personnes des nouveaux Länder des identités adaptées au marché, entre autres) Ce projet a été financé par le Ministère de la Culture et de la recherche scientifique du Brandebourg.

In the background of blockbuster films, algorithms have been employed to replace extras in post-production. Since years we are used to scenes in which masses of automated characters fill the screen, animated by algorithms that let them interact, similar to computer games and agents in computational sociology. Such artificial masses are stepping in the foreground. Simulating life began in the movies and computer games, but is influencing many fields today. In architecture, city planning and traffic navigation as well as in predictions of markets and trade, virtual scenarios influence society and change the way we live. Transformation Scenario (2018) by Clemens von Wedemeyer creates a speculative narration on the impact of emulated group behaviour in society. It follows an idea that could be inspired by Jean Luc Godards film Le Gai Savoir: “To find the solution to a problem, be it a chemical or political problem, one has to dissolve it: dissolve hydrogen, dissolve the parliament. Therefore we will now dissolve images and sounds.“ The film is part of a long term project by the artist making reference to the work Mass and Power (1960) by Elias Canetti, shifting the view on imageries of society, crowd control and potentials of masses today. This is especially relevant in times of populism, when numbers are used to construct power, and demonstrations and mass events form moments of resistance.

Clemens von Wedemeyer, born in 1974 in Göttingen, Germany, currently lives and works in Berlin and holds a professorship for media art at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig. The artist and filmmaker participated in group shows such as the 1st Moscow Biennale (2005), the 4th Berlin Biennale (2006), Skulptur Projekte Münster in 2007, the 16th Biennale of Sydney (2008), and dOCUMENTA (13) (2012). He had solo shows among others at MoMA PS1, New York, ARGOS Centre for Art and Media, Brussels, the Barbican Art Centre, London, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein and Hamburger Kunsthalle. His works can be found in major collections such as The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Tate Modern, London.

Container ships, infrastructures of the digital economy, mines and cityscapes of contemporary California are brought into an associative montage that expands via the soundtrack of improvisational musician Zsolt Sorés. In a film without dialogue, landscape images and music produce a raw and psychedelic anti-effect in which musical delays reflect on the surfaces of the images and support the montage: Individuals are networked, but Silicon Valley's digital enterprises are inaccessible, public space closed off by smart fences.

Ausbeutung oder wie man die Oberfläche durchbricht (Exploitation or How to Break Through the Surface) tells the story of a restorer who studies the history of mining, guided by Hans Hesse's painting on the back of the mountain altar in St Anne's Church in Annaberg-Buchholz. The protagonist sinks deeper and deeper into her research, trying to get behind the surface of the painting and into the present of extraction of new resources.
