Those who go those who stay behind

 

 3′ 46”, b/w, Venice 2009

 

  

I recorded people embarking on the boats in Venice during the Sunday rush hour, in July and August.  Human traffic is regulated by the mariner who opens and closes access to the boat with a chain, blocking the flow when necessary.  So as not to influence the spontaneity of people’s actions and reactions, I organized things in a way that they could not understand whether the video camera was working or not.  Manners, movements and expressions distinguished those who departed from those left behind.  Again, we have the record of a micro phenomenon that conveys a universal meaning of the human condition  where the specific case becomes emblematic.

I had the good fortune to meet Bruno Giorgini and the researchers (Armando Bazzani, Sandro Rambaldi, Francesco Zanlugo) from the Physics of the City Laboratory at Bologna University, www.fisicadellacittà, who put their film material of crowd movements at St. Mark’s Square during the carnival at my disposal, as well the relative models for the simulation of pedestrian movements. Starting from their material I did this video.

The drawings represent the actual trajectory traced by people going in  Saint Marc Square, in Venice, February 25, 2006, during the time specified for each drawing.  Therefore, I want this to be a mere record, a relatively precise record of what occurred.  Invent nothing, observe what has been and what is, and know that that is exactly how things went, even though everything could have gone differently.
