This film, completely shot off a television, is by far the most complex and labor-intensive work I have completed on video images. Its divisions are marked by poetic titles and by structural-visual allocutions: it has four protagonists, the geometric givens furnished directly by the square and other plastic forms deriving from the square. – PG

    Directed by Paolo Gioli.

    Print source: Paolo Vampa

This extremely short film is dedicated to chronophotography... excavated from books and catalogues, that is, from typographic ink. I tried, in a certain sense, to reanimate the inanimatable as does the photographer Duane Michals... – PG
