Sacco and Vanzetti

Herve' Constant Studio, London

By Gruppo Sinestetico. This video performance 'Anche le Parole Uccidono' (Words can kill) faces the problem of the use of words. Through the visual poetry they introduce a message that has two interpretations: war and death. Gruppo Sinestetico proposes itself in a synesthetic way, using and raising the sinestesia in art, in performance, in action, in image, and in contact/contagion, using video, photo and video-installation.


comunicato stampa

This video performance “Anche le Parole Uccidono” (“Words can kill”) faces the problem of the use of words. Through the visual poetry we introduce a message that has two interpretations: war and death.

Peter Miller’s doc “Sacco and Vanzetti” centers on Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists who were accused of a murder in 1920 and executed in Boston in 1927 following a notoriously prejudiced trial. The ordeal of Sacco and Vanzetti came to symbolize the bigotry and intolerance directed at immigrants and dissenters in America, and millions of people in the U.S. and around the world protested on their behalf.

Nearly eighty years later, the story continues to have great resonance, as America once again grapples with issues of civil liberties and the rights of immigrants. Miller is a veteran producer in television and film, notably working with Barbara Kopple on the 1991 Oscar-winning doc, “American Dream,” which he served as coordinating producer.

Gruppo Sinestetico
Gruppo Sinestetico proposes itself in a “synesthetic” way, using and raising the sinestesia in art, in performance, in action, in image, and in contact/contagion, using video, photo and video-installation.
Our manifesto (1999, year of foundation) has a precise perspective and a focusing vision of the purpose to express ourselves in a “synesthetic” way, with the involvement of all five senses, and obviously also the sixth one… Therefore, here’s the job of the group: we introduce and we compare the man and his/her daily life, exalting virtues or reporting abuses and overbearingness.
This video performance “Anche le Parole Uccidono” (“Words can kill”) faces the problem of the use of words. Through the visual poetry we introduce a message that has two interpretations: war and death. The “decisional” word in this perspective has prerogative of death as much as a kalasnikof can have.
