Description
- Abstract:
- Watercolor and marker on paper. Includes instructions for the installation and design of the performance. Note: Birri incorporated a labyrinthine installation for the screening. He constructed a large screen in front of the cinema’s entrance, not intending the film to be shown in a traditional theater but as part of an immersive performance. At the appointed hour, Birri climbed a ladder and cut open the screen with a ceremonial knife he had brought from India, allowing the audience to enter through the tear and become part of the mise-en-scène [Boceto del plan para la proyección de la película ORG en el 36º Festival Internacional de Cine de Venecia. Incluye instrucciones para la instalación y el diseño de la performance. 3 de noviembre de 1978. Acuarela y marcador sobre papel. Nota: Para la proyección, Birri ideó una instalación de carácter laberíntico. Colocó una gran pantalla frente a la entrada del cine, con la intención de que la película no se viera en una sala convencional, sino como parte de una experiencia inmersiva. A la hora prevista, Birri subió a una escalera y abrió la pantalla con un cuchillo ceremonial que había traído de su viaje a la India, permitiendo así que el público atravesara la abertura y se integrara a la puesta en escena].
