Rose Kallal/Joe DeNardo
Spheres of Eden
film & music live environment, italian première

Spheres of Eden based , based on four 16mm film projections and sound, using effects, sound samples and distortions, is a work in progress, already shared in several previous stages, between Rose Kallal - who manages the cinematographic part - and Joe DeNardo, who primarily, but not only, handles the musical part. The possible visual and linguistic references of Rose Kallal - Bruce Conner, Jordan Belson, Stan Vanderbeek - evoke a specific history of experimental film, which touches on the tradition of the expanding consciousness and perception. The imagery of geometric shapes and symmetrical patterns recombines and reinvents itself in a completely unusual relationship with time and perception, based on persistence and circularity that displace expectations. Similarly, the sound relationships between Kallal and DeNardo play on phasing and apparent shifting, finding – at times unexpectedly - moments of synchronicity that problematize both the device of expanded cinema as well as that of the live performance.
