2009 project by Gianfranco Foschino from Chile
Stillness and movement play in opposition in this video. In a long shot framing and a single take, Foschino’s camera captures an everyday life scene in Chilean country farm. A group of chicken move around the front yard. Then, a lady and a dog enter the frame, and she throws something at the chicken, which disperse immediately and disappear. The lady goes inside the house, and only the dog remains at the center of the yard, playing with the object thrown. Then, little by little, the chickens begin to re-enter the space.
Gianfranco Foschino was born in Santiago de Chile in 1983. He studied cinema at UNIACC University (Santiago) and Image & Sound Design at UBA University (Buenos Aires). In 2009 did a residency in Rio do Janeiro tutored by filmmaker & visual artist Paula Gaitán. In 2010 had his first two person exhibition ALMOST ROMANTIC cureted by Christopher Eamon at I-20 Gallery (NYC) and starts to distribute video works by VTAPE (Toronto). In 2011 will exhibit at the group exhibition BETWEEN FOREVER AND NEVER curated by Alfons Hug at the IILA Pavilion of 54th Venice Biennale. Actually lives as nomad around the World.
