Silvia Maglioni et Graeme Thomson
Italy
2007 / DV / 0:13:00 / VOSTF

Goethe’s meteorological observations from September 11, 1819 descend on the clouds of the present day from an ambivalent outside, an off-screen that is dissociated and plagued by doubt. Under the constant threat of global war, the word has withdrawn into itself and the images-temps become an opaque, ineluctable overcast, clouded by abrasive, endlessly echoing sounds.
