SONNET CYCLE, 2018 HD video 18'.
Sound by Dario Calderone.

Sonnet Cycle consist of a series of sonnets, written and recited by us, in which the flora, fauna and cement of Palermo are the protagonists. It is a journey of surreal words and contexts that results in micro-stories on the city's biotope. For this work we have re-interpreted the sonnet, invented in the thirteenth century at the court of Frederick II in Sicily. They were the first poems of a cultural elite written in the vernacular language.

This work was commissioned by Lorenzo Bruni for Mental Landscapes/Natural Trajectories, collateral event, MANIFESTA 12. The project was supported by the Mondriaan Fund.
