Poems and Constructions

'Poems and Constructions' presents two distinct reels. The first reel showcases the walls of Trastevere, featuring peeling stucco, graffiti, and street signs, all presented in transitory stop frame sequences. This reel includes glimpses of 'FILM STUDIO 80' and outtakes from 'Toni with smoke', as well as a fight scene filmed near Rome prison.

The second reel transitions to L’Isle sur Serein, where late afternoon and early autumn provide a reflective backdrop. Close-ups of apple blossoms and an old French history book are captured through a macro lens. These visuals are interspersed with flash frames of gravestones and autumn leaves, set to the sounds of Rameau's harpsichord music and the slow dripping of a tap. This experimental approach emphasizes the juxtaposition of time and memory through visual poetry.
