Bologna, 24 June

I wrote this text on a summer afternoon in Bologna in June 2023, sitting in front of a monumental cinema screen set up in the city’s Piazza Maggiore for the 2nd Cinema Ritrovato festival, which was empty at that moment. The empty screen itself is the subject of the text. For its final form as a sound piece, the text was read aloud by Andrea Van Eyck in Madrid on 4th October 2024. The appropriate context to show it publicly is a completely dark cinema hall. (Borja Rodríguez)
