Sacrificio per la sirena

Cinema can conjure so much from so little. The image of movement over water intercut with glimpses of a divine statue is quite enough to evoke a narrative of travel and destination, the ritual of a “sacrifice to the siren” on some distant island of our collective imagination. In pure silence, over 4 minutes, mingling black-and-white and color, Friedl vom Gröller traces a minimalist journey that is at once surreal, absurd, and divine. Which humble but respectful gifts can we gather for the Goddess? (Adrian Martin)
In the presence of Antoinette Zwirchmayr and Friedl vom Gröller.
