A Beautiful Day After Tomorrow (un bellissimo dopodomani), 2007, DVD , col, sonoro, 8’
Buvoli uses Marinetti’s message as a point of departure, creating a series of free associations relating to velocity and flight themes central to the artists recent work. This dynamic project melds personal and historical narratives with abstracted forms, yielding drawings, sculptures, installations and animated videos.
VELOCITA’ ZERO, 2007, DVD , colore, sonoro, 11’
Buvoli interpreta il Futurismo da una prospettiva post-utopica e offre uno spaccato originale della afasia.
Velocity Zero is presented in two anterooms just off the main cylinder and comprises the third phase, Aphasia, of Buvoli’s project. Created with the assistance of speech-language pathologists, Buvoli recorded individuals who have aphasia or stutter reading the Manifesto of Futurism. Their slowed speech — transformed into fragmented animated sequences — mirrors the readers’ attempts to fluently capture the text. Their moving struggle deflates the Manifesto’s praise of speed and aggression, and continues Buvoli’s re-reading and derailing of Futurism from a post-utopian perspective.
