Beyond the one | Anna Marziano - Thursday 28th @ 19.00
Anna Marziano, bangaloREsident@Experimenta-
Anna proposes a unique space at the Library where it is possible to meet and share notes and unedited recordings gathered during the production of the film BEYOND THE ONE. The documentation is accompanied by sound-works created by 12 students from Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology.
"This film is an open plural meditation on the ways we relate to one another in close relationships, also in light of the determinations we reject/modify/receive from culture and mass media. During 3 months of my bangaloREsidency in Karnataka, I dedicated a particular attention to the film process, involving many inhabitants of Bangalore and surroundings in conversation. Different voices cohabit and clash in the space of the film, expanded by images shot on 16mm, S8 and archive material. In the library of the Max Mueller Bhavan/Goethe Institute, I propose a space in which it is possible to sit and share some notes and sound-sequences I gathered during the film process, as well as the sound-works created by 12 students who took part in an Interim semester at Srishti School of Art Design and Technology. Their names are Siddhanth Uday Shetty, Medha Gupta, Anisha Sirur, Aparna Marcelin Valan, Shreya Pratyush Vyas, Sneha Ganesh, Devansh Mathur, Rachita Rao, Nimisha, Singhal, Aditi Sivaraman, Rahul Kumar Singh, Karan Sunil Sharma." - Anna Marziano
Anna Marziano experiments with filmmaking and in particular with the documentary form. Her new film explores the ways we relate to one another in close relationships, also in light of the determinations we receive/modify/reject from culture and mass media.
The work reveals a particular attention to the process. Anna involves some inhabitants of Bangalore in conversations and sound-recordings (thanks to the collaboration of groups or institutions and to fortuitous encounters). The film unfolds as a sort of plural discourse in which many voices dialogue/cohabit/clash in the space of the film. In addition to archive material, the film is shot on 16 mm and S8 mm. The shooting will continue during the following months all over Europe.
The current installation intends to document the film process that took place in Karnataka from September to November 2013, through sound-sequences and notes gathered during the Residency.
Anna Marziano's practice intends to examine the issues that concern the construction of contemporary identity, through a film process which questions subjectivity, social roles, multiple singularities and hidden nuances of individual and social bodies. Experimenting with the documentary form, the structure of her films involves gathering fragments of reality (sounds, conversations, images) and transforming them into composition, action and relation. Her projects are often process-based and reveal a participative character, i.e. she proposes public gestures such as readings or questions that may activate social spaces in urban communities.
