About










“Quand le père du père de mon père avait une tache difficile à accomplir, il se rendait à un certain endroit dans la forêt, allumait un feu et il se plongeait dans une prière silencieuse.”

(Hélas Pour Moi, J.L.Godard, 1993)
900 (NOVECENTO)





2025–2026 (work in progress)
Short film + Multi-channel video installation
--:--

The project addresses the collective memory of Italy, its nostalgia for a past never lived, and its need to surpass it. A search for recognition that opens outward to a national image still learning to account for the Black presence.

Realised as part of a project initiated with a photographic work by Kaine Harrys.
