Ode ao Bode from Ana Mazzei on Vimeo.
Ode to the goat is a video made from a scene found randomly.
Here the unpredictable, the unexpected fortuitous event puts us in touch with reality, but incompletely: certifies the presence of the object, but says little about it. This is a strong appointment, however, almost speechless. It is up to the viewer to fill some gaps to form an account of this reality. Ode to the goat points to a tragic scene, a blend of history and fiction as a consolidated appeal of dramaturgy.
