something (un)really happened in a quiet sicilian village

The work is a reflection on the sicilian territory and identity, on the recognition and fiction of the sites, reality and fantasy, preconceptions and stereotypes, using images and music from the film by Pietro Germi "Sedotta e abbandonata" (Seduced and Abandoned, 1964) as material of work.
In the video, scenes of the film are mounted and reshuffled so as to create new readings, new possible stories to decipher, but is not possible achieved an unambiguous, correct interpretation.
Anything is possible, nothing is as it seems.

Alfonso, grazie per i complimenti.
Location e personaggi anche dalla mia città, Sciacca, e da Caltabellotta. I luoghi si susseguono e si mischiano in modo solo apparentemente reale, realtà e finzione si inseguono e si confondono. Capita anche nella vita reale...
