News in 2 Minutes

0.0(0)20082m1

The video takes its cue from the "Notizie in 2 minuti" column on the last page of the national daily, the Corriere della Sera, which gives the most important news of the day in a single column, in a very concise form. Baruchello transfers this concept from paper to video, with the camera reading the newspaper. The video, which lasts precisely two minutes, is a montage of still images taken from the entire newspaper, which is leafed through, showing both texts and images. The titles and articles are almost never taken in their entirety, but the fragments we see are enough to give an idea of what they are about: politics, entertainment, sport, shows, art, crime news, current affairs, the economy or science. The pictures are shown in their entirety, but since they have no captions, they are taken out of context. The last sequence of the video shows newspaper closed on the first page. The entire video is accompanied by a rap song in English.
