Sono innamorato di Pippa Bacca

On March 8, 2008, the artist Pippa Bacca left Milan with her friend Silvia Moro, both dressed as brides, to embark on their Brides on Tour trip / performance to Jerusalem. The performance involved hitchhiking, to bring a message of peace to war-torn, conflicted territories, but the trip ended in tragedy near Istanbul, where Pippa was brutally murdered by a man who’d given her a lift. Through interviews with her family, and thanks to the montage of materials filmed by the two artists, Simone Manetti’s film reconstructs the story, leading us into the depths of the Pippa’s work.

Flowers blooming in our throats
by Eva Giolo, Italy, 2020, 8’42″
vo: Sound
The artist films a group of her female friends in their own homes, performing various small actions in accordance with her instructions. The mechanical insertion of the filter over the lens thus becomes the simulation of a violent act, immediately changing the way we perceive and remember an action we have seen before.

vo: Spanish sub: Italian
The Colombian artist films the inscriptions that have been posted around his neighborhood by Collages Feminicides, an anonymous collective of women artists who highlight the pervasiveness of gender violence and femicide in France. Over the collages, we hear the voice of Diana Rodriguez Franco, head of the city’s department of women’s affairs, charged with implementing public policies for preventing domestic violence and supporting victims. Interviewed by the artist, this official explains how the program Espacios Seguros was developed in response to the growing number of cases of domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a series of mises-en-scène shot only in natural light, we see a domestic setting overrun by a pack of dogs that roam around restlessly, attacking objects and furniture.

The screen is filled with a pulsating red that, for just a few moments, is interrupted by the appearance of an eye. A text written and performed by playwright and actress Daria Deflorian provides the narrative structure: the power of storytelling turns the absence of images into a dramatic space of listening that captures the audience.

The film re-enacts three episodes in the history of avant-garde music. The events play against the words of an Israeli soldier about the violence carried out against Palestinian protesters.

Daily Routine
by MASBEDO, Italy, 2020, 11’
vo: English st: Italian
The protagonist of Daily Routine lives in a bare house of glass and concrete, where just a few minimalist furnishings punctuate an otherwise empty space. From dusk into the night, her solitude is interrupted only by a sequence of ordinary actions that seem to have become routine. It soon becomes clear that the austere, see-through architecture is actually an instrument of control: everything is visible from outside, and a distant gaze seems to detect every movement taking place inside this structure of surveillance.

Muse
by Elena Mazzi, Italy, 2020, 13’30”
vo: English st: Italian
In the video Muse, Elena Mazzi leads viewers into the nightmare of gender violence through the disorienting beauty of the Greek and Roman statues in the Antiquarium of Palazzo Grimani in Venice. The video begins by showing details of the interiors as if they were still inhabited, while a voiceover ushers us into the private world of the person who lived, or perhaps still lives, in those solitary rooms.

Sunsets, everyday
by Basir Mahmood, Italy, 2020, 14’ 55’’
vo: Sound
For Sunsets, everyday Mahmood commissioned a production team in Lahore to create and film, in his absence, a repeated scene of domestic violence, based on his instructions and some reference images. The process of staging violence is what generates the images on the screen, but the act itself is almost completely hidden from the viewer. Rejecting spectacularization, the artist focuses instead on the cinematic process and the codes of its language.

Domestication
by Silvia Giambrone, Italy, 2020, 15’
vo: Sound
Two characters, a man and a woman, who have absorbed this paradigm of violence into their own relationship, move in an evocative, poetic way through a domestic setting. They are always shown alone in that shared environment, as if each were a projection or memory in the other person’s mind, but the objects they use serve as tangible signs of their actual presence. The boundary between victim and abuser is so blurred that it becomes hard to say which is which; the whole video is pervaded by a tension that always seems on the point of erupting, having festered within the domestic space as well as in the psyche of the people who live there.

New Acid
by Basim Magdy, 2019, 14’18’’
vo: sound
In New Acid, a group of animals exchange text messages filled with GIFs and emojis. Their surreal dialogue is marked by irony and sarcasm that hint at conflict and rivalry among the species. This curious mix of meme culture and analogue film structure gradually reveals typical human behavior and the paradoxes inherent in a form of communication to which we have all become tragically accustomed. In 2019 New Acid was shown at 72 Locarno Film Festival. The film is part of the programme Around Coexistence, organized by Gucci Garden in collaboration with Lo schermo dell’arte that explores the complex dynamics involved in the coexistence of humans and the animal kingdom.
The film was commissioned by La Kunsthalle Mulhouse, France. Courtesy the artist and König Galerie, Berlin
