A gorgeous silly movie about a weird, probably neurodivergent Italian lass who can’t hang, wears the same outfit every day, loves the movies and is obsessed with her neighbor’s horse and saving up all her grocery store points for an electric fan. Margarita Missoni plays her sister, and it’s a perfect 95 minutes long.
I will be rewatching this, one of my all time favourite films, in honour of Baena in the wake of his passing. A really special film. a tough watch at the best of times, and extra sad now.
And FIVE were selected for publication in the latest issue of artdoc magazine, two in their online exhibition :) I wrote my artist statement in 30 seconds because I didn’t even imagine it would be seen. I’ve struggled with confidence in my creative vision and sharing my work recently, so this is an amazing way to close out the year 🌀🦋
The internet archive is just the greatest thing ever, i love it for the ephemeral films and lost home videos, old religious and esoteric manuscripts, textbooks, nasa photos, centuries’ worth of magazine issues, old records, lectures…. 💌
