In Intervallo (2013) ZimmerFrei's imagery is rendered through nine very short videos, intense portraits of places inside Sky Italia's headquarters in Milan. Each “intermission” is dedicated to a different place and is characterised by a sound composition that mixes field recordings, music and electroacoustic sounds, making sound and environment an evocative unicum that gives life to a series of environments populated by dreams and cinematographic figures.
The nine clips produced were born as "intermissions between broadcasts", unexpected moments that should have marked a change of pace, a suspension in the flow of programs and information. They are indeed evocations, suspended moments and free imaginations, brief escapes from the other side of the screen that paint an imagery – poetic and dreamy moments hidden between the folds of the work.
"Intervallo" is a work produced in the context of ArteVisione 2011, a project by Careof and Sky Italia. The video was aired on Sky Arte HD and was presented at the Schermo dell'Arte in Florence in 2015.
SYNOPSIS
“Intervallo” counts nine very short videos, intense portraits of places inside the Sky Italia headquarters in Milan. Each intervallo (interval) is dedicated to a different space and it is characterised by a sound composition that mixes recordings, music, and electroacoustic sounds, making sound and atmosphere an evocative unicum that transforms places populated by dreams and cinematic figures.
The nine clips act as “interval between broadcasts”, unexpected moments that mark a change of pace, a suspension in the programmes and information flow. These are evocations, suspended times and free imaginations, short escapes from the other side of the screen that paint imaginary, poetic and dreamy moments hidden in the folds of the work.
ZIMMERFREI - BIOGRAPHY
Founded in 1999 through the collaboration of Anna Rispoli (1974), Anna de Manincor (1972), and Massimo Carozzi (1967), ZimmerFrei is a collective of artists with cross-disciplinary practices, based in Bologna and Brussels. They operate across the territories of visual arts and performance, music and cinema, creating works in various formats that redefine language each time and require specific modes of engagement: sound environments, video installations, performances, multimedia shows, documentary films, photographic series, objects or prototypes of audiovisual experience.
ZimmerFrei is dedicated to the investigation of urban spaces, from historic centres to peripheral areas. They focus on interstitial zones, telling highly specific stories and slices of reality, where details of lived experience engage in a dialogue with imaginary landscapes across present, past, and future timeframes. Their productions—whether rooted in Rome, Milan, Brussels, Copenhagen, Budapest, Mutonia or Marseille—become pretexts for lingering in one place long enough to sink into the fabric of a city and construct narratives around the social universe.
