Aria
by Yervant Gianikian e Angela Ricci Lucchi
Italy, 1993, 7’ 17”
Presented at allo Schermo dell’arte Film Festival 2016
Set to the notes of Wagner’s Siegfried, the film combines archival footage with scientific laboratory experiments, edited in parallel with the fluttering movements of a butterfly. Science thus becomes a kind of magic show.
