At the Galleria Marcolini, Roberto Paci Dalò – visual artist, musician and film director – presents his first comprehensive exhibit in Romagna, Kinoglaz. The artist displays an array of drawings, sounds and sculptures to create a “total” work of art, blending his works with the space hosting the show. Lights, projections and sounds link different areas of the gallery via site-specific interventions, molding the space into a single immersive environment.
The exhibition displays itself like an electric field – a place activated by history and people –, or a radio station – a device producing vibrations, flashes, sparks and shadows, and creating gaps between the internal and the external environment.
Kinoglaz (kino-eye) cites explicitly Dziga Vertov’s revolutionary cinema vérité: “The Kinoglaz [represents]… what the eye cannot see… the microscope and the telescope of time… the negative of time… the possibility to see without boundaries or distances… life caught unaware” (1924).
