Presented at The Screen of the Arts 2008Many films has been realized about the work of the artist Mimmo Paladino, but for the first time the movie Opera catches his on-going work thanks to the occasion of the homonymous exhibition at the magnificient space of Ara Pacis in Rome. The documentary, indeed, follows the artist during the week before the opening, through a style that joins an analytical look to a stable closeness to the artist’s sensibility. Thoughts about the works space some familiar moments and meetings with collaborators and artists, such as the photographer Ferdinando Scianna and the musician Brian Eno, who created the sound design for the exhibition. The artist’s work is shown in its daily and continuous process, with the most interesting example of the re-placing and re-thinking of a 30-meters installation that Paladino is working out for the new expositive space.
