Giovanna Puggioni

In the sharp light of an old stone village, the camera captures the appearances and disappearances of an "elf" (in the words of Giovanna Puggioni). Edited in-camera, the film is masterfully constructed like a maze of images, comings and goings, and opposing, multiplied, and sublimated movements. – Christian Lebrat

Filmed unexpectedly on the port of Genoa, the jazz music resonates with the lights of the city. The video loop, multiplied and worked on during the editing, induces in the spectator a kind of spatio-temporal hypnosis reinforced by the light patterns that change status and the "depth" of the sound recorded live...

For twenty years I lived in the same apartment in Paris. The “landscape” that I was looking at through the window became my home, my living space. It was also a kind of calendar, a watch: the passage of time, the passing of the seasons. When I left, I made this film to physically keep with me images, details, lights, colors, textures whose sight and existence were essential to me. I filmed static shots by inserting blacks of varying duration between them. I superimposed different shots six times on the same film, changing their duration and that of the blacks. Each layer therefore has its own rhythm determined in advance. In the end, the series of images fit together like segments of memory.

"Fuoco" is the first part of this ensemble: fireworks and lights were filmed in superposition, with the same strip of film passing through the camera six times, the film itself having been pierced at random with a needle.

Several girls and a boy improvise a luncheon on the grass. The camera glides along the bodies and the arrangements of fruit and other objects on the immaculate white cloth. A diffused eroticism takes over the image in the incandescent light of Ligurian summer. – Christian Lebrat

A transition from total black to total white, dark to the light. The transformation of the image/trace/matter happens through an intrusion of light (gradual opening of the diaphragm), and a change of speed, space/depth. The light takes form due to the image/filter/occasion.
