Ghost

GHOST The video project Ghost, born from the collaboration between the painter Paola Gasparotto and the musician Elisa Ornella, is inspired by the dramatic consequences of climate change, trying to raise awareness and bring back to the present a scenario as possible as it is surreal: the complete melting of the glaciers.

GHOST The video project Ghost, born from the collaboration between the painter Paola Gasparotto and the musician Elisa Ornella, is inspired by the dramatic consequences of climate change, trying to raise awareness and bring back to the present a scenario as possible as it is surreal: the complete melting of the glaciers.

The fragmentary images in the transparencies try to evoke the traces, the dissolutions of a landscape of forms now dissolved, like simulacra containing a ghostly effigy. 

In the same way, the music wants to underline precisely this constant sense of instability, which manifests itself mainly through continuously transforming choices of timbre and rhythm - musical elements that want to evoke the very condition of the glaciers: fragile entities, in constant change, that we are irremediably losing.

Like a journey to distant, almost extinct lands, the video tries to give “voice” through sounds and retain the “gaze” in the images, inviting the viewer to reflect on the impermanence and fragility of our ecosystem. 

Thanks to Jacopo Romano for collaborating in the creation and editing of the video, the G. Tartini Conservatory of Trieste and in particular the Composition teacher M° Mario Pagotto.
