Mentre accade è già futuro. Il cinema di Yervant Gianikian e Angela Ricci Lucchi

Abstract

Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi’s cinema uses the images of the past to build knowledge of the contemporary processes. Through the creative force of these authors, ancient images explode with new meanings, often contrary to what the images originally embodied in terms of political and ideological significance. The act of tampering is evident, through the slow motion, the colorization, and the new composition of the frame: it is a gesture that examines, interprets, rewrites. It is always a creative contribution, where aesthetic and the ethical work are ontologically merged into a philosophical view of human destiny.
