TRAME D’AUTORE | Six video-artworks between art and literature
Contemporary art comes under the spotlight at the Rome Film Fest. The Auditorium Parco della Musica will feature the exhibition “Trame d’Autore”, a project promoted and conceived by Simona Marchini, which presents six video-artworks stemming from the interaction between six artists, six writers and six directors. The works of Pizzi Cannella, Hidetoshi Nagasawa, Roberto Pietrosanti, Marina Sagona, Giuseppe Salvatori and Jannis Kounellis (the first posthumous tribute to this great artist) dialogue with the writings of Emanuele Trevi, Claudio Damiani, Jhumpa Lahiri, Marco Lodoli, Aurelio Picca and Elena Stancanelli. The resulting narration morphs into image in the six short films that will be screened in the spaces of Studio 2 and Studio 3, which will also display the works that served as the dramaturgical elements. In her twin role as actress and art dealer, Simona Marchini sought to bring together the languages of visual arts and literature to shape a third fusional language, that of auteur videos. The backstage photos by Dino Ignani, will be on exhibit at La Nuova Pesa (via del Corso 530, Roma) for the duration of the Rome Film Fest.
