Alterazioni Video
Notes for an Unfinished Park
Experimental film | 4k | color | 25:15 | Italy | 2022
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

2009, in the high plateau of the Peruvian jungle, near the border to Ecuador, a mining company forces their way into the depths of the forest to search for mineral resources. They do this with the government`s permission, but without consent from the indigenous people, the Awajun natives who live there. Known for their fearlessness, the Awajun stand up to the invaders. But in the fight for their land they are brutally struck down by the government. Violence breeds counter-violence. Years later, young natives learn to use the videocameras and start to follow the trail of violence.

Fiction | hdv | color | 10:8 | France, Greece | 2023
Failing to have found Homer, I met Sisyphus It is the search for something that does not exist or no longer exists. It’s a movement that brings you alive. It is the encounter with absurd and ephemeral repetition. This is a look at the ongoing construction sites on the island of Ios. It is an echo of Greek mythology, Homer and storytelling in the broad sense.
When I was little, I made films with playmobiles and plastic Indians. Today, I am at the Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux, in my second year and I specialize in video and writing. I also work with various materials including sculpture, ceramics and drawing. After my baccalaureate in Theater specialty, I did a year of hypokhâgne in Paris, then an artistic preparation, before moving for the first time, to Bordeaux. I've been making films for some time now, and I know that it's really in this area that I can express myself best. Show, make people travel, make people feel emotions. Choosing the aesthetic, the words of my actors, the framing of the shots, the editing of the rushes. All the stages give me a satisfaction and pleasure that I rarely find otherwise.

White Building
Experimental doc. | dv | color | 25:0 | France, Cambodia | 2005
Passing by the front of Bassac in Phnom Penh, if you are an attentive traveller, you would be surprised to see a construction arise. It could be a building, but it rather looks like a surprising architectural swarm. First we only see a tangle of blue lines, green dots, and coloured material, suspended over what must have once been a white facade of a modern architecture. We then learn that this great living organism was constructed by the Cambodian architect Van Molyvann according to the model of the Radiant City's Utopia...
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.

Who is behind the most influential work of art of the 20th century? The answer to this question is highly debated. Is it by a celebrated male- or a forgotten female artist? Art experts tumble over each other to prove their version of the truth. The interests are great and the arguments numerous. But what is the value of their truth, if the artist him-/herself wishes to remain anonymous? Speculation about the work of art creates value, and that goes beyond the art market on which the many copies of the work circulate. When we try to get into the heads of the once so progressive artists themselves, the story takes an unexpected turn. From Dada to data: Alreadymade, like Fountain in 1917, radically challenges the idea of authorship and identity, and does so in a remarkable setting: the digital afterlife.
Barbara Visser (1966, the Netherlands) 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 and is an awarded artist. She has also worked as the artistic director of IDFA. Her work focuses on cultural and historical narratives and how these become manifest through art, design, media and science. By challenging conventions in storytelling and image-making, and questioning our memory- and belief systems, Visser aims to provoke a new perception of what a normality has rendered invisible.

Herbarium
Experimental doc. | hdv | color | 7:25 | Netherlands | 2013
?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.

Who`s still afraid of red, yellow and blue? The most famous abstract painting of the twentieth century has invoked much more than just one response to this provocative question. Fifty years after `Who`s Afraid of Red , Yellow and Blue III`, we question the meaning of art over the life of this famous, celebrated and mourned work by Barnett Newman.

? On the 3rd of March 2009, Clemens K. the head of finances of an Amsterdam arts fund, disappeared with 15.8 million Euros, his three children and two women, and they have not been seen ever since. The people in his former environment are left behind in shock: bewildered, angry, surprised and concerned. Strangely enough, it is not so much the massive amount he?s stolen: it is the treachery, which affects them most. Unexpected, and apparently out of nowhere, he?s broken all conventions, on a personal and professional level. The point of departure of the film is the paradoxical, almost mythical idea that the meticulous man of numbers, he, who has sent innumerable warnings and corrections to us artists, did what most artists want to do- but do so, only in a symbolic manner: crossing boundaries, putting his own needs and wants first with little need for a justification to the outside world. The cliché of the 'dull' world of the accountant versus the 'exciting' life of the artist is being turned upside down in the film. Why is it, that someone suddenly does something so extreme, so out of character? Where, when and how did it start with Clemens K., the good-looking, kind and helpful family man from the descriptions? Was he the nice guy they saw in him, or was he wearing a mask all along? What made Sammy run? The time before, the current situation, and the consequences of the fraud are being narrated by an actor speaking from the bookkeepers point of view and the people interviewed: the ones left behind. Next to the interviews that I will conduct, we hear a voice over which represents my own version of the truth, a second layer introducing another form of speculation. The man, Clemens is thus seen through a kaleidoscope, speculating on possible motives.

Actors of Profane History
Video | hdv | black and white | 17:0 | Russia, Germany | 2017
"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.
Elena Vogman is an author, independent curator and postdoctoral fellow in the research project “Rhythm and Projection” at the Freie Universität in Berlin. Her book on "Sinnliches Denken: Eisensteins exzentrische Methode" (2018) has been published by diaphanes. Currently, she finishes her next book, "Dance of Values: Eisenstein’s Capital Project," which is forthcoming in the Fall of this year. Together with Marie Rebecchi and Till Gathmann she curated the exhibition “Sergei Eisenstein: The Anthropology of Rhythm” in 2017 at Nomas Foundation in Rome. In 2018, the trio curates the exhibition “Eccentric Values after Eisenstein” together at Espace Diaphanes in Berlin.

"Ducks & Cars" plays with the viewers? expectations. Slowly, like a raindrop, an image forms and vanishes in the same instant. Gently and calmly, from this slowness and suspense, a childish subject appears: Ducks & Cars. The video is meant to be a sort of background animation to other events taking place. It refers more to the classic idea of a painting than to animation. The symbols that build the image come from knitting instructions. No ASCII.

Meine psychoanalytischen Notizen
Experimental film | 16mm | black and white | 3:0 | Austria | 2013
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
