the ground is bleeding light (indemini – sant’abbondio)

Pas encore de résumé en français · résumé original en anglais

the ground is bleeding light is the title of an ongoing series of cinematic diaries that emerge from an intuitive process of observation and movement. Each film follows a different long-forgotten path, one of many ancient roads and crossroads that once formed a network connecting human settlements and still function today as invisible signposts through the landscape. This work was created between Indemini and Sant'Abbondio. The footage is partly self-referential, showing me and my working process in moments of interaction between body, camera, and terrain, guided by light, weather, and chance. The sound is a composition of collected sounds recorded during the walks, including the voices of a church choir in Indemini. The 16 mm material was hand-processed on site in a hybrid development process using plants, fungi, and water collected at the locations visited. The films become carriers of the landscape itself, living archives of earth, movement, and memory.
