the ground is bleeding light (indemini – sant’abbondio)

the ground is bleeding light is the title of an ongoing series of cinematic diaries that emerge from an intuitive process of observation and movement. Each film follows a different long-forgotten path, one of many ancient roads and crossroads that once formed a network connecting human settlements and still function today as invisible signposts through the landscape. This work was created between Indemini and Sant'Abbondio. The footage is partly self-referential, showing me and my working process in moments of interaction between body, camera, and terrain, guided by light, weather, and chance. The sound is a composition of collected sounds recorded during the walks, including the voices of a church choir in Indemini. The 16 mm material was hand-processed on site in a hybrid development process using plants, fungi, and water collected at the locations visited. The films become carriers of the landscape itself, living archives of earth, movement, and memory.
