Title: Synesthesia
Runtime: 6 min
Country: Italy
Director: Gianni Salamone, Marzio Benelli
Placement: Award of Merit
Competition: September, 2024
Synopsis: “What is Synesthesia? The contamination of the senses? Can one ‘see’ a sound or ‘feel’ a color?
In this videoclip, Gianni Salamone, with the help of Katia Della Fonte, a performer with animal-like movements, takes us back to an almost primitive being with precisely primary needs: eating, smelling, touching, having sex, in a mix of contaminations that will free him from the constraints of a life that increasingly alienates us from reality. Synesthesia is somewhat a metaphor for these times. We have everything at our disposal, everything within reach, and yet we fail to realize that we no longer even know what scent a woman’s body or the food we eat can have.
In this videoclip, the concept is amplified, expanding the idea that a person can express themselves to the fullest only through their ‘primitive’ being.”
