Verified profile

The first installation, presented in June-December 2013 as part of the Per_formare una Collezione # 1 exhibition, was dedicated to the theme and technique of montage, a fundamental aspect of Baruchello's entire work and which also extends to the areas of painting and assembly. In the video News in two minutes (2008), the camera scrolls the entire content of an issue of Il Corriere della Sera within two minutes. The inspiration comes from the homonymous title of the column on the last page of the newspaper, in which the most important news of the day is reported in a summarized form: the work assumes as a compositional principle the imperative of a fast and syncopated consumption of news, and it constitutes a comment on the accelerated perception of time and reality. The film Disperse Exclamatory Phase is screened in the second room, made between 1964 and 1965 in collaboration with Alberto Grifi. Verification uncertain is a work based on a radical use both of pre-existing material and of the editing technique and has anticipated by years the appropriation and sampling practices that have become popular since the end of the seventies. The film is made up of cinematic waste material, over 150,000 meters of film from American commercial cinemas of the 1950s and 1960s destined for waste and which Baruchello mounted with adhesive tape. Images and sequences from different narratives are juxtaposed in order to create suspensions and inversions of the original scripts, with the result of obtaining the opposite of the classic film writing process: here the screenplay is the result of the editing and not the starting point. The part of the title in brackets (Disperse Exclamatory Phase) refers to the project - later not realized - to disperse, at the end of the first screening, the frames by donating them to the public, in order to re-distribute the appropriate material again. Presented in 1965 at the Gruppo 63 conference in Palermo, this film is a fundamental work in the context of those practices which - as we can also see through the work of Nanni Balestrini - question the concept of author and analyze the mechanisms of creation through the appropriation and re-invention of existing materials.
