Francesco Jodice | Rivoluzioni | Base / Progetti per l’arte, Florence | February 19 – April 2022

The exhibition consists of a twenty-five-minute film obtained from the artist's progress in the use of archival footage: it is a specific installation designed for the non-profit space in Florence. The video presented by Jodice is halfway between a docufiction and an experimental film using pre-existing video materials, but also between the video installation and the conceptual thesis work. The images that alternate range from those of galaxies distant from ours to those of characters from 1930s films involved in a melancholy questioning about their destiny to those of exhibitionism of various subjects of 1980s films that seem committed to witnessing their existence first of all to themselves.
