‘Quattro Movimenti: A Study on Scelsi’

stills from film

‘Quattro Movimenti: A Study on Scelsi' is a cinematic response to Giacinto Scelsi's chimeric Strings Trio.

The work is a collaboration between Nicol Vizioli and the London Contemporary Orchestra. Shot over a single weekend in Iceland, the film fabricates an alternate earth, a place that is pure and elemental, where Nature exists in primal form.
The music holds a tension that never reaches its climax, time and space are suspended and images become archetypes.
The primal consciousness of being alive, instinctive, violent and pure.
The film was presented as a huge 360° degrees full immersive installation on Ron Arad's Curtain Wall at Roundhouse, with a live performance by the London Contemporary Orchestra.
This is my first moving image work.
