del terzo orecchio
Live remixing/processing of the entire soundtracks of Michelangelo Antonioni’s "Trilogia dell'incomunicabilità" (comprising L'avventura, La notte and L'eclisse) while stills from the three films, capturing empty in-between moments where sense and emotion are suspended, are randomly projected and redoubled on the ceiling...
As the layered and manipulated sound conjure up impossible spectral dialogues across the three films, multiplying the disembodied voice of Monica Vitti in a hysterical fugue and foregrounding Antonioni’s pioneering use of modern ambient sounds (electric fans, fridge motors, helicopter rotor blades) to underscore the physical and existential disquiet of his characters, the public are invited to recline on an aseptic bed of white sheets and pillows covering most of the exhibition space and watch the frozen shards of images above as they flicker in and out of view like parings of long-dead stars.
