A Shadow

"Grande Estasi" ( Great Ecstacy) is an audio "cover version" of a cult sports documentary: "Die Grosse Extase des Bildschnitzer Steiner" by Werner Herzog. This is a movie from the early 70's that examines Walter Steiner, an unusual Swiss ski jumping champion.
In the past, we have used other artists' works as material to experiment with: in 2001 for the film "Presente Continuo", we deconstructed David Lynch's "Lost Highway" scene by scene, in order to spatialize the entire movie in a single moving picture.
For this new work, we moved the narration of Herzog's film from the visual to the sonic level.
We have always thought that if we block the primary sense, sight, we increase the ability to create mental images. Listening in darkness, we enter an "inner cinema" in which images are projected straight into the spectator's mind.
The result of this process, applied on Herzog's movie, is an audio-film in which the voices of the characters are combined with  the electicity of the guitars and field recordings, and whereby this mélange gives birth to a hypnotic and dense sonic tale.

Mind Is Going

Inspired by the song Muddy Water, a seventies bluegrass classic by The Seldom Scene. The images were taken in the Puffin Foundation’s Teaneck Creek Conservancy, in New Jersey, a natural environment surrounded by the noise of the roads, squeezed between the houses and sometimes haunted by human incident.

Mary, take the child, the river's rising

Lord, this muddy water is taking back my home

Muddy water's changing all I know

The Apartment uses an empty house as a set for an anti-plot: a man with a balaclava, a woman in red, somebody  sleeping on the floor.

Song For John Cage

ZimmerFrei is a collective of artists (Massimo Carozzi, Anna de Manincor, Anna Rispoli) whose complex practice is located on the crossways of cinema, theater, music and performance. Mixing formal languages, the group produces kaleidoscopic sonic and visual works that investigate real and imaginary urban environments, where the mental and the physical blend in a coherent narrative of human experience.
