evidenze fantascientifiche

An exploration of fragments of the Veneto landscape by car.
Through the reading of poems, some of the locals attempt to recall the past and resist the fall of the landscape itself.
(With texts by Andrea Zanzotto)

Director Statement

By now Veneto landscape is frozen by Unesco tutelage, and reified by numerous entrepreneurial politics, intensive monocultures, celebrations of the myth of unlimited progress, and it is granted access only almost exclusively by car.
Amid the capitalist ruins we live in, perhaps the poetic language could represent some “place” of resistance, escaping the hegemonic hyper-accelerated temporality, and instead contemplating different times even rarefied, and mostly that which keeps the memory of these places and its spectres “alive”.
In Andrea Zanzotto’s (a poet who lived in deep symbiosis within this territory and its culture) work, there is an opening to a world-making, by the constitution of a syncretic language and articulated towards the infinite and dazzling attention apt to know the landscape in its minimal detail and in an attempt to keep it subject.

“The same landscape backgrounds of our Giorgione and Titian, no longer finding a correspondence in the geographical reality we are forced to inhabit, have taken on a character of science-fiction-like evidence.”
