Experiencing Interruptions?

Synecdoche Turin

It’s often a sense of shakiness which emerges in seeking affordable rent. Furthermore, leasing real estate in the time of Covid it’s enough though enterprise due to the different restrictions in moving freely and without any fear even visiting the venue, still not to mention the angst before the future that a change in life like a relocation involves so that everything starts spinning around. Such a pretty much postmodern sensation should have had Hazel in the Synecdoche, New York by Charlie Kaufman when she rents a burning house, which becomes quite her home yet with this persisting sense of precarity still not precluding to keeping going. The experience is now translocated to another city, Turin. It still remains a burning house in a burning city, however, it will become home to someone.

Director Statement

Synecdoche Turin is an experimental video art installation to be projected against a wall or screened on a monitor. The take is a real virtual tour of a flat as some platforms enable the potential visitor to tour in a roundabout way and circumlocutory rough measure of one's own housing destiny as a grand tour destination, what for a tour de force! The images of the work have been recorded with a special technique in order to extract, manipulate and edit the footage of virtual tours, to be then recomposed in a unique video artwork combined with an original music soundtrack of the collective. The goal of the work is to unleash the power of abandoned houses and transform them into something alive. Reflecting pulsing moving images art to the heartbeat of the reborn building...
