”Inside You, There Is The Earth”, Cosimo Terlizzi
Italy| 1h 23 min | 2019
The diary of a vacation. An island. A young inhabitant walks barefoot on the rocks, the thorns, the earth. A girl obsessed with her image on social media. The author observes the landscape and reflects on the artifice. Once back home, the city looks like a labyrinth that drives him to seek a way out and to rediscover new perspectives in nature.
”Intertidal. Barene”, Collettivo Confluenze
Italy| 14 min 45 sec | 2019
The city of Venice with its lagoon is an example of a historic city that is at great risk of being swallowed by water. “Intertidal. Barene” is aimed at raising awareness of the issue that this ecosystem brings with it. A precise dialogue with the environment, consisting of natural elements and put in relation to the elements created by humans. The dancing language comes from a specific relationship with the location and perception through the lens of the camera.
Cosimo Terlizzi lives and works in Italy. He develops his art works through the use of different media, from photography to performance and art video. His artworks have been exhibited in museums and galleries such as Centre Pompidou in Paris, Mambo in Bologna, Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, Fondazione Merz in Turin. He also realizes documentaries screened in festivals such as Rotterdam Int. Film Festival, Festival d’Automne in Paris, Turin Film Festival.
