Director Biography - Giorgio Gerardi

I live in Italy, in Favaro Veneto (Venice). Around the age of twenty, I approached the study of the History of Art, as an autodidact, and I began my personal photographic research. I got fascinated by the artistic Avant-garde of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries, because they focused on the analysis of the visual medium, than to the staging of reality and its representation, as the history of Art had instead accustomed us.
In recent years, I have focused on some details of the environment around me: clouds, leaves and everyday objects that you daily have under your eyes. I have also produced some videos, which have been screened at video mapping festivals and participated in film festivals. I'm also interested in the use of AI.
I have exhibited my works in many art exhibitions, both online and offline, and have been published in national and international magazines.

Director Statement

I filmed with a GoPro during a nighttime car journey. During post-production, I inverted the colors, transforming the darkness of the night into a milky white. The rhythm of the journey is dictated by the streetlights along the highway, the cars I pass, and those that pass me, as well as the road markings. The sound is my own production.
My video goes beyond the simple visual representation of a night journey. As the road and landscape completely disappear, what remains is a distorted, almost surreal, reality, shrouded in a "milky white" hue. This visual effect is not a mere aesthetic manipulation, but rather a symbolic representation of an inner experience. The night journey thus becomes an inner journey, an immersion into the depths of the human consciousness. The distortion of the visual reality reflects the complexity of our inner world, where the lines between dream and reality, past and present, blur.
