Miami
2015, video, sound recording and subtitles, Rome, 53’09
Miami is a one shot interview of a strip bar manager. The place, where we had an appointment with Sig. Pino is called Miami, « mi ami » as « love me ». Initially I asked Camilla Paolino to collaborate with me on this investigation for a Laptop Radio broadcast happening at the Swiss Institute in Rome. We brought ourselves into a suburban Roma strip bar to make a visit, to see, to chat with the manager and to sound record everything. MIAMI has No-images. We feel the atmosphere of the bar, listening to Pepe’s playlist and the people entertaining themselves with the ones working. Del Rey’s subtitles lustfully appear on the black screen, translating while people are explaining, interpretating, joking, questioning, talking rubbish, showing off, singing and fighting.
