Sabaudia

Lotte Schreiber

Gilberta Canciani, Gurjeet Kaur

Sabaudia in Italy, created by Mussolini’s architects as a model “new fascist city”, was supplied with extensive farm lands converted from marshes. Yet, despite its undeniably “brutal” architecture, creators including Alberto Moravia and Pier Paolo Pasolini subsequently found Sabaudia to be a wonderful, hospitable place – the sign of a genuine, traditional Italy, and its resistance to all modern ideologies. Lotte Schreiber constructs a multi-faceted, documentary view of Sabaudia, inspired by but going beyond Pasolini, portraying it as a paradoxical mixture of social class separation, nostalgia, and everyday whimsy.

36

Norbert Pfaffenbichler, Lotte Schreiber

Lotte Schreiber and Norbert Pfaffenbichler’s 36 is a rigidly mathematical and graphic composition based on the number in its title. All of this video´s elements, including its length, are variables of this figure. Three apparently independent fields of perception are linked by Stefan Németh´s synchronized soundtrack. In the left field, 36 vertical and horizontal white lines run through various patterns of movement according to a binary digital system (0 = vertical, 1 = horizontal). They eventually unite in six squares onto which amorphous animated miniatures are projected.
