New video: Rock Sand Roll

  Rock Sand Roll from apasolini on Vimeo.

The ocean as the ultimate video star, culture encroaching on nature. This poetic video uses rhythm and juxtaposition to create a subtle drama of contrasts: turmoil and quietness, speed and slowness, water and sand, culture and nature, landscape and detail. Shot in Itapua Beach, Vila Velha, Brazil.

VIDEO ART CHANEL

VIDEO ART CHANEL from apasolini on Vimeo.

Taking up the videoart tradition of subverting pop cultural products, VIDEO ART CHANEL plays on French cliches and the kitsch grandeur of film trailers with a re-edit of the trailer of Coco Chanel's biopic.

Accidental Video #2: the caterpillar dance

Part of a video series of 'video moments' captured spontaneously. In this video, a caterpillar makes its way across a tiled floor to the sound of some bouncy Bollywood disco that happened to be playing from a small sound system nearby.

‘Zurique’ screens in open air show in Vitória, Brazil

My latest video, ‘Zurique’, a 24” short poem about the Swiss city, will be screening in the old district of the City of Vitória in Brazil tonight. This is the cool trailer for the show, based on the 'city' theme.

CITY UNDER A SPELL, 36", 2011

City under a spell from apasolini on Vimeo.

THE VIDEO IS A REAL-TIME RECORDING OF A SHOPPING STREET IN ZURICH IN MAY 2011. CHRISTMAS-LIKE BELLS WERE CHIMING AS PEOPLE WENT ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS WITH TYPICAL SWISS INTROSPECTION. THE SCENE TO ME EPITOMIZES THE SPIRIT OF THE COUNTRY, THE KIND OF EERIE PEACEFULNESS THAT, IN MY EYES, CHACTERIZES SWITZERLAND.

New video: Electronic Voodoo (2010)

Electronic Voodoo from apasolini on Vimeo.

A collage of electronic clips extracted from the web and a TV screen. The endless circulation of images and relentless televisual fear-mongering has a spell-like effect on viewers; it's a kind of voodoo. The video uses the voodoo analogy to illustrate our chaotic imagination in the age of information overload.

New video: The art of video art

2'18" | 2007

Using footage from the Prelinger archives, The art of video art uses vintage TV commercials to create a visually retro essay about the ontology of video art, the art of the televisual age.

New video: Video Graffiti: Lobo-Motivas

56"|2007

Using footage sampled from the opening sequence of a 1977 Brazilian soap opera, Video Graffiti is a symbolic gesture of cultural re-appropriation. The video consists of the author 'graffiting' his name on top of the credits that appear in the sequence as an act of 'vandalism' against Brazil's controlling Globo Network and the powerful cultural colonization imposed by the organisation on the making of the country's collective memory.

New video: BRASIL REDUX

BRASIL REDUX (2006, 10'32", cor) is almost a ready-made that uses a publicity film about Brazil from 1948 as primary text. The video consists of the film being played backwards with additional sound that alludes to a machine's meltdown. For the author, the video is a meditation on the lost dream of Brazil as the country of the future, with the fading celluloid images presented in the documentary as a representation of nostalgia for a future that never was and never will be.

New video: Cat Silence, Dog Sound

Cat Silence, Dog Sound (Mini-DV, colour, 1'30", 2006) is a record of a spontaneous domestic scene, the confrontation between a cat and dog recontextualised as an illustration of how sound changes the meaning when added on a sequence. The cat represents the power of the silent image while the dog's nervous barking makes an allusion to the manipulative use of sound and how it is used to direct view point.
