New Void - The Movie is the result of a performative act of procedural and conceptual
deconstruction of the cinema language.
The artist chooses not to use a camera as a tool for the production of images, but an
Easypix handheld scanner applied directly on the screen of his 15.4” Macbook Pro.
The artist moves from Gaspar Noe’s film Enter the Void (2009), from which he acquired
the new images as raw material. This appropriation process, which almost quashes
the aesthetic references of its source, creates the frames needed to build the narrative
structure of the new film.
The result is a refined and complex conceptual operation that generates a film full
of autobiographical references and somehow re-discusses, through its protagonist
Rasco, the role and responsibility of the artist in the production system of images and
works of art.
The film sees the collaboration of Enrico Boccioletti ft. Death in Plains, who created the
original soundtrack and sound, and, for the screenplay, Ana Miranda Shametaj, from the
theatre company Kokoschka Revival.
