the ground is bleeding light (indemini – sant’abbondio)
the ground is bleeding light is the title of an ongoing series of cinematic diaries that emerge from an intuitive process of observation and movement. Each film follows a different long-forgotten path, one of many ancient roads and crossroads that once formed a network connecting human settlements and still function today as invisible signposts through the landscape. This work was created between Indemini and Sant'Abbondio. The footage is partly self-referential, showing me and my working process in moments of interaction between body, camera, and terrain, guided by light, weather, and chance. The sound is a composition of collected sounds recorded during the walks, including the voices of a church choir in Indemini. The 16 mm material was hand-processed on site in a hybrid development process using plants, fungi, and water collected at the locations visited. The films become carriers of the landscape itself, living archives of earth, movement, and memory.

Brilliant Noise
2006
Brilliant Noise takes us into the data vaults of solar astronomy. After sifting through hundreds of thousands of computer files made accessible via open access archives, Semiconductor have brought together some of the sun's finest unseen moments. These images have been kept in their most raw form, revealing the energetic particles and solar wind as a rain of white noise. This black and white grainy quality is routinely cleaned up by NASA, usually hiding the processes and mechanics in action behind the capturing procedure. Most of the imagery has been collected by satellites orbiting the Earth as single frames, or files of information, that are then reorganised into spectral sequences. The soundtrack brings to light the hidden forces at play upon the solar surface, by directly translating the intensity of the brightness into audio manipulation.

Traum A Dream
2002
By Traum a Dream (2002) the unintelligent memories have become distinctly more sinister. Samples of found footage suggesting memory and repression vie chaotically for attention with Dirk’s voice reciting repeated words and phrases, punctuated by splutters and coughs, as though attempting to wrest some meaning. This meaning comes at last with the final sentence dragged out phrase by phrase in the third person: “he began to remember what he didn’t want to remember, what had been taken from when before he knew a secret of before he knew himself”.
