"With exhilirating rhythms and flashing sideways motion, the latest by celebrated Italian artist Paolo Gioli is a 16mm, black and white ode to faces and the city. Il Finish delle Figure reminds one of Muybridge but relays a sense of the conteporary, sensory overload of living in a metropolis."
Official description: "Early cinema confronted the spectator like no other art, beckoning a reciprocal engagement and curiosity as both spectacle and document. Paolo Gioli returns to a tabula rasa with his handmade cameras and masks, which allow him to exploit and fashion film’s reproductive means. The exhilarating Il Finish delle figure updates Muybridge and relays a sense of the contemporary, photo-finished experience using a 35mm still camera."
"Paolo Gioli is an Italian photographer and filmmaker who has been making films since the sixties."
