I SEGNI ADDOSSO

At the festival

Blacks and whites alternate in an endless standoff, beams of light highlight the black figures whereas white silhouettes emerge from the sticky black.
Faces and places narrated by a strong expressiveness that leaves no room for delicate nuances, shattering the sign, crumbling it, pulverising it.
A nonstop conflict that tells about suffering places and bodies.
A story about contemporary practices, torture as a tool of annihilation, the total suspicion of the rule of law. A practice which today lies behind the rhetoric of the clash of civilisations, a rhetoric ending in itself.
Elena Guidolin does not deliver a misleading aesthetic pleasure for the violated bodies, but she is neither rhetorical in restoring the tragedy, she chronicles the lives and bodies as battlefields.
With BeccoGiallo she publishes a book on the topic of torture, from Giulio Regeni to the facts of the Diaz school in Genoa in 2001, from Abu Ghraib to Italian fascism.
