RED CARPET
Italy 2019 // 11.30 min. // HD 16:9
Red Carpet is one of the chapter of Die Macht_of ignorance and other ghosts, a work conceived in collaboration with the music composer Alessia Damiani. Stars devoured by flashes. Champions of the media overexposure, reference models of a dominant aesthetic, the actors and actresses on the red carpet show themselves in all their smiling ghostly splendor, lit up intermittently like the flashes of distant explosions, explosions of meat suspended in the air. Does the firing squad immortalize you today and not kill you? What changes?
