    Storyline

    The work has been created for the IAR international video art exhibition at palazzo Fondi in Napoli, and it was filmed and produced at Via Farini - Vir artist in residency in Milano. The film wishes to investigate a potential contemporary condition of suspension in which western-society has fallen into. The artist by assembling a unique optical device has explored the microscopic dimension of billboard paper and projected it back onto its given urban environments. The result is an atmospheric work in which the micro confronts the macro in a sequence of urban projections where by means of juxtaposition of perspectives reality results as partially suspended.

          I watched this short film at FEKK in 2022. It is a festival gem, amongst those works that you will rarely (unfortunately) find outside the close circuit of film cinephile. To bad, because Milano di Carta is a well-crafted destabilising cinematic journey within the billboard's paper. Recommended to the one seeking the other side of filmmaking; the extravagant, the unexpected, and the experimental. Needless to say, materiality and materialism are keywords for this work, which ultimately is presenting the audience with a new dimension, a hidden and melted landscape popping out of the sovra imposition of diverse images.
