Taking inspiration from a science fiction novel from 1969 by Michael Moorcock, the story is about a modern version of the first human being, who appears on earth as an adult child, being enthusiastic for discovering the great inebriation that freedom can give, the liberation of the body using the metaphor of dance. Something that makes you lose the brakes, make you sweat and feel good. Then it happens that when you come into contact with other human beings who are learning like you to manage their freedom, you stumble on the concept of limit.
“We imagined representing the limits that life impose you as a clash between human bodies that bumping themselves making happen weird reactions. it really amused us. Plus we imagined a grand finale, in which we chose to dress our human beings with a shining metal, a sort of a suit of armor, like an evolution of the species and an even stronger movement in search of freedom. But isn't that already happened?” CMT

A tribute to the work of Gregory Crewdson, one of the masters of contemporary photography who meticulously constructs his scenes as if they were movie sets, keeping all actors still for minutes to capture a single image on an optical bench. The Frozen Roses frames are created by blending various techniques, utilizing a sum of AI as a starting point, then manually intervening to enrich and alter them, and subsequently digitally animating each one individually.

Often considered to be untranslatable, the Japanese term MONO NO AWARE refers to the bittersweet realization of the ephemeral nature of all things. It is the awareness that everything in existence is temporary. The fleetingness of youth, the fading of romance, and the changing of seasons are not to be mourned, but cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where their beauty comes from.
This art video is made in collaboration between the music collective C'mon Tigre and the artist Maurizio Anzeri, animating the Anzeri original artworks to tell a story of the beauty of ephemeral human beings life, flying over places like a bird, observing people who live in those places in a dimension where history and future converge. Maurizio Anzeri makes his portraits by drawing on tracing paper, which he laid on top of old photographs, and after by sewing directly into the photographs. His embroidered patterns garnish the figures like elaborate costumes, but also suggest a psychological aura, as if revealing the person’s thoughts or feelings. The antique appearance of the photographs is often at odds with the sharp lines and silky shimmer of the threads.The artist’s recent expansion of his practice to include landscapes stems from an interest in the idea of ‘electricity’: electricity that we emanate and absorb and its manifestations. In his altered landscapes, mysterious emanations suggest unseen phenomena, and allude to the spiritual and mystical.
The film focuses on the careers and work of a collective group of artists who since the 1990s began a movement in the art world using D.I.Y. aesthetics from skateboarding, graffiti and underground music such as punk rock and hip-hop.[4] The artists discussed and interviewed in the film include Thomas Campbell, Cheryl Dunn, Shepard Fairey, Harmony Korine, Geoff McFetridge, Clare Rojas, Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Steve "Espo" Powers, Ed Templeton, Deanna Templeton, and Mark Gonzales.
A series of interviews with these artists explains their reasoning behind their "do-it-yourself" style of street art. As some of these artists discuss their growth in popular artistic culture they explain how becoming renowned and admired in the art world was something that never occurred to them from their various roots in street culture, or simply creating art for themselves. As many of the artists began to be recognizable and sought after they discuss their series of commercial success: creating advertisements for popular products, designing products themselves, working in film and being hired to paint and create artwork in well known locations. The personal feelings and convictions of some of the artists and how creating work for corporations compares to their beginnings in street culture is also discussed. The film portrays the artists as outside the realm of contemporary art.

There is no keyframing, no filters no post production, over 2300 frames hand painted on paper.

“We cannot keep the kind of meals, we have known and also keep the planet we have known. We must either let some eating habits go or let the planet go. It is as straightforward and as fraught as that.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, “We are the weather”

a music film by Gianluigi Toccafondo and C'mon Tigre
So it began. The music film "Federation Tunisienne de Football" (4 min 22 sec) it's the first way chosen by C'mon Tigre to share their Mediterranean tale with all the whole world, along all the longitudes and latitudes. It based on their first single track, introducing the full album's release in October: a story about an eccentric football team, their dances and magical shoes set on a sandy playground surrounded by animals.
Animated and painted by the Italian artist Gianluigi Toccafondo
codirected by Gianluigi Toccafondo and Marco Molinelli

“The Bridges of Graffiti” project positions itself 30 years after “Arte di Frontiera. New York Graffiti”, the exhibition curated by Francesca Alinovi that in 1984 brought the New York graffiti writers artistic scene in Italy.
Ten artists Eron, Futura, Doze Green, Todd James, Jayone, Mode2, SKKI ©, Teach, Boris Tellegen, ZeroT worked together for the very first time, bringing to life a single cohesive Hall of Fame piece within the Arterminal walls, together with some site specific works conceived especially for the exhibition.
While the walls are home to the large collective fresco, a documentation of this multifaceted art form at its beginning is exhibited through the photographic images by Henry Chalfant e Martha Cooper.
The name Arterminal (Terminal of Art) has been specifically chosen to evoke the relevance of the harbor for the city of Venice, strengthening its international relevance and facilitating the exchange and the encounter between different cultures and different forms of art, as a result.
Curated by Fondazione de Mitri and Mode2, with the consultancy of DeeMo, Luca Barcellona and Andrea Caputo.

An essential black and white which melts itself with the synthetic textures of this track, where sharp urban landscapes make scene for a tale about world’s metamorphosis. The film was made by taking pictures of Zezelij’s drawings surface while he painted over the course of several weeks. Each brush sign has to be documented by a photo, same technique as the most classical animation. The peculiarity of his approach is that every drawing he paints erases the previous one, every mark erases the one below and what remains is encased in this film. There is no escape to the last scene too, painted black by hundreds brush strokes. A work of continuous evolution, which generates images only to leave them lost in time, as memory does. The only witness left is the film itself.
