44.86.96

44.86.96 is the viewing time of the X-ray film. Male sex. Age 62. Domenico Caluisi. The number reflects the time taken by the coil to complete an entire projection cycle. This 35 mm reel represents an image that at first glance looks the same but at the end of the cycle is another one. The change is slow and imperceptible. The project was born as an installation developed in a long and narrow space that allows the film to extend with total freedom. During its path, it encounters obstacles that are represented by books specially created all the same and serial to evoke the cultural weight, which affects the path. The primordial image is born, transforms and dies in a different form, but it seems in some way to remember itself at the beginning.

Time as rhythm, book as event.
