I wrote this text while I spent one summer afternoon in Bologna, sitting in front of an empty monumental cinema screen installed for the Il Cinema Ritrovato film festival in the city’s Piazza Maggiore. The subject of the text is the empty cinema screen itself. It is a first approximation of a writing practice performed in real time, in front of a specific phenomena and place. For its final form as a sound piece to be played in the setting of a darkened screening room, the original text was read aloud by Andrea Van Eyck in Madrid on October 4, 2024.
