Medium-length film, 2020, 31’ and 02”
Il titolo del mediometraggio si riferisce a un verso di John Keats tratto dal componimento Sleep and Poetry: «So that we look around with prying stare, / Perhaps to see shapes of light, aerial lymning, / And catch soft floatings from a faint-heard hymning». Il lavoro si ispira in particolar modo al film di Stan Brakhage The Text of Light (1974) e nasce originariamente come studio sulle rifrazioni della luce. I movimenti e i colori compongono un immaginario dall’atmosfera acquatica e cosmica allo stesso tempo e la struttura sonora creata dal sound designer Riccardo Santalucia segue la partitura luministica, rafforzando l’immersione visiva e percettiva in una dimensione fluida e caleidoscopica.
The title of this medium-length film refers to a John Keats’ line taken from the poem Sleep and Poetry: «So that we look around with prying stare,/Perhaps to see shapes of light, aerial lymning,/And catch soft floatings from a faint-heard hymning». The work is inspired in particular by The Text of Light (Stan Brakhage, 1974) and was originally born as a study on light reflection. The movements and colours generated compose, at the same time, an imaginary of aquatic and cosmic atmosphere and the sound structure created by the sound designer Riccardo Santalucia follows the luminist score, strengthening the visual and perceptive immersion in a primordial fluid and kaleidoscopic dimension.
