Ci sono gli spiriti is a free visual interpretation of a Carl Gustav Jung’s dream. The dream starts off with a quite common archetype: one’s own home, the most familiar place for each of us, as an unexplored entity. Jung finds himself entering a series of ‘secret’ rooms: the first room is a zoological laboratory where his father carries out several experiments. The second is a bedroom where his mother attempts to capture spirits. The third is a big hotel’s Hall, prelude of thousands of other rooms, where an orchestra is playing. Technique: drawings on acetate made with watercolours or tempera, or cotton filaments, dust and hair, printed in stop motion on b/w photographic paper. Some parts are also realised with tempera drawings and candle soot on cardboard.
