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)
