Experiencing Interruptions?

Maybe it's me

The film is questioning the contemporary obsession with image and authenticity in a world where social networks amplify our multiple ‘selves’. To expose the ridiculousness of self-performance, while revealing the profound humanity in these attempts to embody something ‘real’. A truth that slips between the images, a character that is captured in the hollow, in what is left unsaid, in what is not shown. This film was made entirely from the personal casting self-tapes of Stefano Cassetti.

Director Statement

Samuel Bester :
I like to explore the ambiguity between reality and our conception of it. Through nuance or distortion, I amplify the interrelations between perception and emotion. Time, the senses and dreams play key roles in my work: they conjure up a language that is often metaphorical, arousing curiosity or blurring apparent meanings and triggering unexpected mental images. My work is protean and intermedial: sounds and/or images in installation or projection, in still or moving images follow the Fluxus philosophy, a movement that is dear to me: art is not separate from life.
I've always been fascinated by the audiovisual arts, by the unspeakable and irrational things they can convey, and by the emotions and upheavals they can create in us.
Through my visual and sound work, I seek to present a philosophical and poetic view of the world, because I'm convinced that that's what art is there for: to reveal to us things that we don't see or wouldn't have seen. ‘It is not what one looks that counts, but the place from where one looks at’ wrote Gustav Meyrink. A work of art has the power to shift our gaze and thereby enrich us, fill us with wonder and transform our perception. My quest is to (re)poetise the world through the visual arts.

Stefano Cassetti :
Stefano Cassetti is a conceptual designer with a background in fine arts and industrial design. He uses contemporary art disruptively to investigate social behavior, instinct, perception and how creativity has to deal with irony and morality.

He thinks objects as a way to discover our hidden desires but also viceversa. His aim is answering hidden need with a smile-solution, pumping poetry into surrealistic but purpose-led object.

Constantly placed on the edge between art and design, first he transforms ordinary into mundane and after that into something else somehow surprising and reflection-provoking.

Stefano Cassetti likes the words: downshifting, randomly drawn democracy, permission-free, site specific & location independent, durational performance.

His heroes are Joseph Beuys, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Joan Brossa, Roman Signer, Markus Schinwald, Julien Berthier, Atypyk.com, Dominic Wilcox, Erwin Wurm, Adrian Howells.
