Presented at Lo schermo dell'arte 2020 BUSTROFEDICO is the video that Anna Franceschini made as a special and closing event of the Italian Pavilion Neither Nor: The challenge to the Labyrinth, curated by Milovan Farronato for the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019. Writings that change direction at each line - from left to right and vice versa – are called boustrophedical. The camera moves and crosses the pavilion, which was partially adapted for filming, in frenetic circles. Sculptures and installations by artists invited to the pavilion – Enrico David, Chiara Fumai and Liliana Moro – have been freely interpreted by Franceschini. The accompanying soundscape is made up of extracts from works present in the exhibition by Chiara Fumai and Liliana Moro, intertwined with a series of noises recorded by the artist. The film’s tense atmosphere makes the viewer feel lost as inside a labyrinth.
