The will

“The will” is a video artwork which makes a direct reference to the form and the structure of 60s-70s American experimental cinema, at the beginning of contemporary civilization, and to the reality of one

more lost opportunity that was the revolutionary generation of the ’60s. It was when people were starting to speak openly about Geopolitics and Networks. Water was -and remains- a network, but also a topic of geopolitics. Because of Climate Change, water becomes more and more valuable, while, since some decades ago, its slippage from a public good to a product has been taken for granted in «advanced» societies. «The Will» is a poetic protest using a combination of old damaged Super 8 films, military sounds, water images, and image-memories fluidization, along with the patchy blood-coloring patina that the fungi have given to the film. The end is a half-quenched idyllic image, as a memory, or as a mediated tele-link to a melancholic image of Nature.
