The Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti, a strip of land enclosed between the Adriatic sea and the northern lagoon of Venice, invites a photographer of undisputed fame, as part of the Cavallino-Treporti Photography project, to re-read and investigate its extraordinary territory through the very personal and revealing lens of the camera and the unique sensitivity of the artist.

At the tip of Italy’s heel, lies la Vucca de lu puzzu, the gaping “mouth of the well”. Vucca (2016) is the intimate result of the artist’s field recordings inside the cave. Saline and pluvial water merge through an underwater tunnel, refracted sunlight challenges obscurity, while the rock stubbornly resists the passages of civilizations. The multilayered soundtrack and visuals echo the dizziness of the space.

1812 is an immersive audiovisual work entirely created and reworked from the classic Russian film War and Peace by Sergey Bondarchuk, from 1967. The work uses only and exclusively found footage and material from the film, and implodes it to create a new audiovisual work, a new visual sound experience. The result is an experimental vision that pretends to expand the way we perceive films and tries to push our notion of audiovisual sensations.

"Developed as a research for a future film about a cemetery of elephants. The research is based on classic adventure films, Lost World literature adaptations and exotic adventure films from the '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s, the golden period of adventure in cinema. These archive works are experimental notes of some of the techniques and visions that will inhabit the film, they represent a new approach to sound and image. An overwhelming experiment with the audiovisual matter."

"END is a work dedicated to the planet's most remote locations – a visual requiem for extreme lands, a trip through the most distant peripheries of civilisation, where people and the environment are melded together. END is a research project into the image and the imagination of the end. Given its world premiere at HangarBicocca in Milan, for which it has been specially created as part of the wider Terre Vulnerabili project, END is a three-screen installation that represents a selection of the works produced by Carlos Casas during the decades of arduous research he carried out in the Aral sea, Patagonia and Siberia, channelled into three documentary films, a lengthy series of single-channel videos and various audio-visual live events." - Excerpt from a text by Andrea Lissoni.
