Two videos (Lost in Translation / Keyframe) by Headvision. Headvision is a media art project of Roberto Zitolo (born in Turin, Italy, 1980).
The concept faces one (re)view of media language across the same, against the models, styles and techniques of linear communication.

From 2004 Headvision promotes hybridization of means and fusion of expressive platforms, placing the search on the interaction between visual art, communication and digital technology.
The experimental methods of Headvision’s work are mainly four: mixed media, cut up, detournament and found footage. They come applied to the following expressive platforms: experimental cinema, video installation, video design, live set, animation, vj, motion graphich and digital painting.

 

Lost in Translation

This audiovisual work is the result of a participation with experimental musician and audiovisual artist Gill de la Tourette. ( Real name steven tevels,born 1972 in Brussels,Belgium. )
"Lost in translation" is like a noisy flower bloom in prosperity. It has a surrealistic and opressive atmosphere in which the mime-characters, picked up from the original video repertoire by the famous Belgium Artist Jan Fabre, expresses themselves in a kind of slowmotion dance.This video work seek to create a space in time, wherein body and spirit may coexist. The irrational element is a vehicle through which to clarify the somewhat confused, collective psychic terminology of the current historical and social moment. The dancers bringing the psyche back into the organism and its anatomical location...creatures who explorated the psychological dimensions of birth,life and death and becoming symbols of mutations in time.

The video is based on the concept of mixed media, namely a work devised and composed of different sources of audiovisual language. It is a surveying on the human figure, on its obsessive desire of self representation. It begins with an anonymous ritual exposed to the videocamera’s eye view: body motions, facial expressions and mute words wander on a black and white path, interrupted by visual and resonant interferences breeding  relationships with other perceptive ambients, other figures, other mediatic imaginaries. Cuts of original film and television repertory interact with the  real document creating a connection with the subject witch is transported and decontextualizated from the reality to become part of his same sight.
