I Can’t Help Myself!

By: Gianluca Bonomo (independent film-maker, UK)

Description: This video art piece was created in collaboration with visual artist Julia Maddison. It was premiered in London in 2022 as part of a site-specific exhibition called "the drinkers' body". "Piece For Noise & Human Body" is based on real life experience. It visualises the intimate struggle of an artist heavy drinker whose body appears inextricably attached to the ground. The viewer is invited to explore the intimate uneasiness of the artist through extreme close ups of her body while the sounds and noises genuinely recorded by Julia and myself become the only minimalist soundscape in the video.
