Director's Statement:
"In my video works I use AV archive material, mixed with contemporary images and sounds to reflect on the perception of reality through the manipulation of historical documents. The non-linear and fragmented reconstruction of images or sounds, the viewer finds his own personal narrative. Whether it's a sound-walk in an NSA station abandoned in Berlin, constructed from samples of cold war cinema, or the juxtaposition of images on tarantism in Puglia with a story of the first case of hysteria documented by Freud, my intent is to stimulate the emotional experience of an otherwise distant yet contemporary ”phenomenon"."
