The project of a 3D [stereoscopic] film by Armin Linke and Francesco Mattuzzi, completed with the visual effects created by Francesco Siddi, refers to the 19th century invention of the stereoscopic technology, that was developed exactly for archaeological and military purposes.
The use of stereoscopy offers a new dimension to the vision of space and to the understanding of colonization. The entire film becomes a sort of magic box in which the gaze travels across a surreal world that is possibly facing a moment of radical transformation. it is at the same time a document of a specific site in a specific period. As opposed to the images saturating our media screens, the stereoscopic visions linger over the banality of everyday life, revealing and unveiling the violence and drama of occupation.
The images together with the soundscape created by Renato Rinaldi, are accompanied by stories. These narratives make the landscape (and the imagination related to it) readable, recreating a dimension of lived places.
