Angiolina detta “Sputaci”

The video installation “Angiolina detta Sputaci” is composed by one video and two pictures and proposes a reflection on the idea of monument and of collective memory. The video focus on the investigation about Angiolina Cipollini, called “Spit”, a woman that was leaving in Arezzo in the 40s and that remained famous in the city. The effort to know more about the woman brought the work to bring out a reflection on the way collective memory works.
In the video the character is slowly coming out from the darkness while the Arezzo citizen are telling their memories. The incoherent memories always subjective don’t allowed the image to come out completely keeping it in between reality and imagination.
