Description of project
“Double Exposure” is a video-poem developed in response to the call for the exhibition "You got to say yes to another access" at the 2nd Research Pavilion at the 57 La Biennale di Venezia.
The script of “Double Exposure” is based on the text “the wanderer and its shadow” by Friedrich Nietzsche (the story of a wanderer surprised by the fact that its own shadow talks-back), in order to allow for the somber, absent, to question the visible. The script unfolds other passages borrowed from Virginia Wolf, Mark fisher, Paul Auster and Elizabeth Araújo Lima about the affective – when not directly potentially political – relationships between senses of depression and exclusion.
The video-poem also attempts to produce a statement regarding the problematic of dissemination of affect in artistic research and how research might interfere with openness in art.
The video was shot with Dan Graham’s “Double Exposure” sculpture as background, with the aim to render formal relations of visibility/invisibility, opacity/transparency, inside/outside, through the spatial qualities of the sculpture.
