The work of the two young well-educated filmmakers, who like many young contemporary creatives frequently cross over disciplinary boundaries, is characterised by the way it addresses the stories of people with uncertain and fluctuating identities. Uncertainty is a given reality when it comes to immigrants and the marginalised, subjects of many of their works. Uncertain identity is however also a condition that comes as second nature to human beings: each of us is in continual transformation. The video Leo , a homage to Gianni Colombo, was presented at the Castello di Rivoli museum of contemporary art along with a selection of some of Gianni Colombo’s favourite films, those that have contributed to constructing his world of images. The series, curated by the De Serio brothers, appears alongside the exhibition and also includes some of their own works. Not to be missed.
