Al Blu di Prussia
Among the titles on display Fronti – a film presented in the form of a world premiere performance at the RAI Auditorium in Naples in December 2015 on the occasion of the awarding of the 2015 Napoli Prize to Paci Dalò – together with the unpublished 1915 The Armenian Files created in the year centenary of the Armenian Genocide.
Together with the films, a series of drawings that play on a temporal ambiguity evoking storyboards created after the making of the films, in the manner of Alfred Hitchcock who, given the success that the drawings enjoyed among the public, invented the storyboards ” a posteriori” a true media phenomenon. The installation includes a slow motion video where visitors will be able to access, on-demand, the artist’s entire corpus of films, including color and animated works.
In his work process, Roberto Paci Dalò also produces a Moleskine notebook. Moleskine is a company with which he regularly collaborates as “Moleskine testimonial”. This is how Filmnero, the anastatic of the Moleskine notebook published by Marsèll and edited by Mirko Rizzo, was born.
The drawings in the notebook retrace the genesis and history of the films on display.
In addition, Roberto Paci Dalò and the Neapolitan publisher Ilfilodipartenope select thirty-four of the “exploratory drawings” of the exhibition, to create an artist’s book to witness the anthological Al Blu di Prussia in Naples.
