Luigi Veronesi

Film n. 4

Luigi Veronesi

Abandoning any figurative reference, Veronesi realizes a true "abstract" film, constructed through the rhythmic succession of splashes of color, circles, lines, scribbles, large and small dots. Once the camera is finally put down, the artist works directly on the film, painting it by hand with tiny brushes. The starting point is the rhythm of Stravinskij's Histoire du soldat ; the arithmetic progression of the sequences, ordered according to Leonardo Fibonacci's scale of numbers, is no longer appreciable today due to the loss of some frames.

Un giorno all'Olivetti

Luigi Veronesi

Unpublished corporate documentary on the famous captain of industry Adriano Olivetti and on the history of his factory activity in Ivrea. The project was never completed, so the images are based on a comparison between the original negative and a colored working copy, belonging to a different montage.

Film n. 13

Luigi Veronesi

Last abstract movie made by Veronesi. The work is obtained by working directly on the individual frames of the film. Veronesi developed a systematic method for the visual transposition of sound, fully exposed in some theoretical writings published in the 1970s.
