Debora Vrizzi is the protagonist of the first appointment; the video-forum will be introduced by the curator Bruno Di Marino.
Performer and filmmaker, Debora Vrizzi has always worked with moving images, photography and body, in order to stage a reflection on personal and collective identity, sometimes through semi-narrative structures, other times through symbolic-conceptual structures, in others slipping towards the documentation of the real and autobiography.
During the event, the artist will presents some of her most representative video works in conversation with the curator and historian of the moving image Bruno Di Marino, who since 1989 deals in particular with audiovisual experimentation.
