From Vocivoro (2019) by Giuseppe Onelia
Vocivoro (2019)
Single-channel. High Definition Digital Video, Sound, Looped 10 min
White flashes appear on a monitor. Something restless; layers of flickering obscure matter, crystallizations, magnetic phenomena, aquatic textures, digital noise. A symphony unfolds, a lively nightmare trapped by raw force: light and motion ghostly collapse into the ruins of an entity. Voices and sounds regurgitate to reveal an inner space of death and vitality. After a time, these tensions settle down and a child's voice emerges, a lullaby or farewell song. Soon, everything is sucked back in, an endless cycle and the dark entropy starts again.
