I’m Francesca Seravalle and I’m a curator, after fifteen years working and living in Europe I’m back to my city, Venice, as an act of resistance. Normally as a curator, I dive into a project, and like a midwife, I support an artist from the conception to the birth of the book and the exhibition. During the last 6 months I had the pleasure to work with Kelly O’ Brien on her personal project: Are you there? Kelly is Irish-British based in Derby and uses photography as a cathartic opportunity to face her missing father. It’s a story about pictures never taken, about fragmented memories and lack of information. During the research, Kelly found her father on Facebook, too late to meet him as he was already dead. Kelly plays with the photographic medium even beyond its limits: Is it possible to take picture of something that happens in the past or that never happen? How is made our pictorial memory of the past? Can we modify our memory? Every image has origin from a personal question. To find an answer when there is no other possibility, Kelly plays the cards of the clairvoyance and the fiction. What I loved most is her ability to face the dark side of the project on a deep level with even a sense of humor and lightness. Her ability to use many linguistic registers like the mysterious, the desecrating, the playful, and the ambiguous. The project is still ongoing and really soon she will face the social taboo of a reacted funeral, especially in a Covid period, when death from a private issue has become a social issue. A necessary ritual for her to meet the father and to say goodbye to him. As part of Kelly O' Brien, I had the pleasure to work even with Debshudda Banerjee a photographer with an incredible story about her albinos’ Indian aunts. I’m really happy to have collaborated as a mentor on the Catalyst program produced by IC Visual Lab in collaboration with the Bristol Photo Festival and the support of the Arts Council of England. I would like to steal the Catalyst project format because it’s a real good way to cooperate for a long period (6 months) with an international group of professional and young artists in photography, to have a new possibility to work even during the pandemic period and especially to meet Kelly with whom I will work over to the end of the project. Thanks, IC Visual LAB, thanks to Alejandro, Safia, Tracy, and all the other people from the Catalyst project for this opportunity!

Can a video help you to relax? Or to change the direction of your thought? I was walking in the street and suddenly I looked up and I witnessed a snowfall of pollen above my head. I didn’t know what to do because I was allergic to pollen. I chose to stay and to record even it could have negative consequences on me. I just pushed the play button. The sound is #authentic. #ASMR visual video. It is made by #calming #images. These visuals were created to trigger ASMR responses of relaxation, comforting, calming sensations, and give you delightful tingles all over your body. What does ASMR mean? Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is an experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. © Francesca Seravalle Everything has its first time is a research project by Francesca Seravalle 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍 #everythinghasitsfirstime #francescaseravalle #asmr #itsfirstime

Life in Milan: me, my friends, my sisters, and dancing in the protest against Berlusconi in 2010/2011 I found a few amatorial videos I did with a small camera, never supposed to be published. At that time I was living in a small flat in Chinatown in Milan without internet at home and with a simple Nokia that was working just as a phone, without internet. I received as a present a flip camera and I started to play just for fun. © Francesca Seravalle

Francesca Seravalle performing Paolo Ventura's book: Autobiografia di un impostore (Authobiography of an impostor), narrata da Laura Leonelli. Johan & Levi Editore, 2021 Paolo Ventura (1968, Milan, Italy) invents stories. Like all good storytellers, Ventura was raised on them and appears to have a natural gift for narrative. Each of his pictures holds its own little mystery, a concoction of atmosphere, character and detail that urges closer examination. Ventura, like a true master illusionist, makes things disappear in front of our eyes. Death and vanishing are recurring themes in his work. He explains it as an omnipresent “fear of losing someone he loves”, which he translates onto his photographs. In his Short Stories this can be clearly observed. The Vanishing Man, a Jewish man wearing a yellow star on his coat, slowly evaporates into the city walls, alluding to the Holocaust. The Hunter vanishes after shooting down some birds. Since any story needs the imagination and speculation of the listener/ viewer, Ventura unfolds his narratives over a series of images, similar to a flipbook. Within this series, each image forms its own little mystery, filled with character and atmosphere and detail that beg for closer examination. Ventura’s multilayered, but essentially photo-based practice comes from a personal history rich with charisma and angst. ‘La Citta Infinita‘, a series he started in 2013 is inspired by his travels on New York City’s above-ground train lines as well as by Italo Calvino’s writings. In this series, Ventura built and painted a group of small, empty buildings, ranging from hotels to tenements. He then photographed the miniature sculptures and painted, stamped, typed, and drew over the 4-by-5-inch images and displayed them horizontally in individual frames. The intriguingly cryptic images appear to be painted memories of a desolate abandoned city. — Paolo Ventura’s work has been exhibited worldwide, including at the Italian Pavilion of the 2011 Venice Biennale. #paoloventura #francescaseravalle #performance Ventura studied at Milan’s Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in the early 1990s. Solo exhibitions include the Forma International Center for Photography, Milan; Museum of Contemporary Art of Roma (MACRO), Rome; The Hague Museum of Photography, The Hague; Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, Rome and during the Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles. In 2012, he was selected by curator Vittorio Sgarbi to create a series of works for the Italian national pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale. In 2018 Ventura received a large solo exhibition in Armani Silos, Milan. His work is included in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Art, USA; Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., Lowe Art Museum, Miami, USA: MACRO Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Roma, Italy; Maison Européen de la Photographie, Paris, France: Museo Palazzo Fortuny, Venice, Italy and Instituto Centrale per la Grafica in Rome, Italy and the MAXXI, National Museum of 21st Century Art in Rome. In 2014 he collaborated with the celebrated director and prestigious award winner Rob Ashford on the creation of the scenography for the Lyric Chicago Opera Theatre. Ventura received other important commissions from the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome and the Mart, the museum of modern and contemporary art of Trento and Rovereto, Italy. In 2017 Ventura was commissioned by the Teatro Regio of Turin for the stages, costumes and video for the opera Pagliacci by Leoncavallo. Four monographs of Paolo Ventura’s work have been published: War Souvenir (Contrasto, 2006), Winter Stories (Aperture and Contrasto, 2009), The Automaton (Peliti Asociati, 2011) and Lo Zuavo Scomparso (Punctum Press, 2012). Small and limited publications have appeared with publisher Danilo Montanari Editore such as Il Mago (2013), An Invented World (2013) and Death of an anarchist (2015). In 2016 Aperture published the latest publication by Ventura, Short Stories.
© Francesca Seravalle I'm still waiting for something new. I'm still waiting for a coral voice and a political figure who image with us our future. Do I miss something or none spoke about a "sustainable utopia" and about the importance of nature? Is there any strong leader who is planning for a new economy respectful of the environment? Politics are speaking about the future present and they miss two big protagonists: Nature and Quality of Life. What are we learning from this situation? I know I'm still too utopistic. Do we want the same identic world of before the COVID19? Or we want to build new horizons. The capitalist system has proven its flaws, but the political system offers no alternatives. What are we doing? The horizon of the sea is vertical, it's a question of perspective.
You can not descend twice in the same river and you can not touch twice a mortal substance in the same state, but because of the impetuosity and the speed of change, it disperses and collects, comes, and goes. Waiting for the unlocked period. © Francesca Seravalle
DONNE ARTIGIANE Video 06’ realizzato nell'ambito del progetto “Botteghe e Atelier aziendali“ – DGR 1987 del 21/12/2018, della Regione del Veneto, finanziato dal Fondo Sociale Europeo 2014-2020 e prodotto da Conform. In collaborazione con Arte-Mide Regia: Francesca Seravalle Sceneggiatura: Chiarastella Seravalle Artigiane: Marisa Convento, impiraressa, Venetians Dreams Daniela Ghezzo, calzolaia su misura, Atelier Segalin Simona Iacovazzi, perlera, PerlamadreDesign Federica Zane, merlettaia, Laguna FLA Group srl - Atelier la Merlettaia Il video racconta di cosa vuol dire essere donne artigiane, e soprattutto donne artigiane veneziane. Come l’acqua, l’arte, la cultura che si respira, si vede, si tocca e si gusta in questa città siano fondamentali al loro lavoro, come a loro volta, Marisa Convento, Daniela Ghezzi, Simona Iacovazzi e Federica Zane, impiraressa, calzolaia su misura, perlera e merlettaia, siano esse stesse detentrici della sopravvivenza della cultura Veneziana, anime indispensabili per la sua continuità. Il video nasce dall’esperienza di quattro artigiane che hanno imparato a raccontarsi durante i corsi tenuti da Chiarastella Seravalle (attrice, insegnante di comunicazione e pedagogia teatrale), Francesca Seravalle (curatrice e insegnante di comunicazione visiva) e Claudia Cottica (antropologa specializzata i patrimonializzazione della cultura materiale e immateriale). Durante il percorso hanno analizzato il loro rapporto con l’oggetto artigianale, con l’ispirazione, con il gesto manuale, con la progettazione, con l’importanza della tradizione e con l’innovazione, attraverso un approcio teatrale, antropologico e di comunicazione visiva. L'oggetto artigianale è figlio di un prodotto manuale o di un progetto ideato e sapientemente studiato attraverso la conoscenza della materia? Come nasce un’idea? Cosa possiamo fare perché l’artigianato continui? A che cosa siamo disposte a rinunciare? Che cosa succederebbe se non ci fossero più le artigiane? Sono donne molto determinate, decise che assieme hanno sviluppato un processo di autocoscienza, condiviso segreti, insegnamenti, storie private e hanno affrontato anche alcuni dei momenti più difficili, come quelli della grande alluvione del 2019, e del lockdown in una città senza turisti. Le artigiane veneziane sono donne che vivono d’arte e d’amore e con totale rispetto per il proprio mestiere, la propria passione.

San Piero in Volta, una memoria Veneziana. Interpreta Erika Urban, Regia Francesca Seravalle L’arte e l’artigianato veneziano sono nati in relazione al paesaggio lagunare, all’acqua metà dolce e metà salmastra, all’aria e al cielo che si riflette in acqua. Venezia e la sua storia stessa sarebbero inimmaginabili senza Laguna. Si dice che il merletto sia nato a Burano da una giovane ragazza per conservare in eterno un’alga, un pegno d’amore regalato dal suo marinaio. Una perlera voga e prende ispirazione dai naturali abbinamenti dei colori e delle luci delle barene, così pure, a Murano, in uno studio di donne maestre del vetro, performer e musiciste prendono ispirazione dai materiali naturali, dai colori e dai suoni della Laguna. Un forcolaio sa di essere uno dei quattro custodi dei nomi di alcuni attrezzi e forcole non più utilizzati, parole che scompaiono perchè non più pronunciate. Si dice che a Venezia i bambini imparassero a nuotare alle Zattere dove c’era Ernesto Canal, il primo archeologo della Laguna, disse di aver imparato a vogare prima di camminare. Anche un adolescente, una donna, un uomo, un anziano, che vive o lavora a Venezia, nativo o che ha deciso di viverci, ha un racconto personale sulla Laguna di Venezia. La Laguna custode dei nostri riti di passaggio, dei nostri amori, delle nostre albe ammirate al rientro o al risveglio, dei posti preferiti per goderci un tramonto anche quando fa freddo, delle camminate rinfrescanti lungo le zattere nelle serate estive, o della domenica pomeriggio a mangiare un gelato, a portare i bambini con i passeggini, con lo skate o con le bici, ai pranzi in isola raggiunta con il sandalo o il barchino. Venezia e l'area dell'Alto Adriatico costituiscono un ecosistema unico, complesso e, allo stesso tempo, fragile: alghe e sale sono le sue essenze, gli elementi identitari che la definiscono per i suoi odori. Venezia, epicentro della storia commerciale dell'alto adriatico, anche la sede di pratiche artigianali che sono patrimonio dell'intera area trasfrontaliera: la lavorazione del merletto, del vetro e del profumo, nonché la sede di aziende di produzione di beni di alta qualità che dalla storia artigianale della città hanno saputo trarre innovazione. Esiste un patrimonio culturale immateriale e storico veneziano nato dal rapporto simbiotico dell’uomo con la laguna, un patrimonio che ha ispirato l’arte e l’artigianato rendendolo un tutt’uno con il suo paesaggio. #FeelingVenice è anche una campagna di comunicazione sociale fatta di poster, cartoline da scrivere e altre iniziative, di cui i cittadini veneziani sono protagonisti partecipando alla creazione di un archivio digitale fatto di memorie personali, di parole, di immagini, di gesti e di suoni per tutelare questo patrimonio a rischio. Le memorie faranno parte del Patrimonio Intangibile della Laguna, presso l’Archivio Vittorio Cini. Feeling Venice è prodotto dall’associazione veneziana Arte-Mide in collaborazione con The Merchant of Venice e grazie al sostegno del Progetto DIVA Interreg. Italia-Slovenia e vede l’erogazione delle attività nei luoghi di Venezia in cui il pubblico incontra la storia culturale e industriale.

© Francesca Seravalle Monday 13th of April 2020 To Catch a Thief in Venice - people walking on the beach have been hunted as thieves. During the whole day of Monday, from early in the morning to 10.30 pm, a helicopter flew over our heads creating an incredible noise and sense of alarm. In the afternoon I realized that a kind of journalist (not a professional journalist) was on one of the helicopters of the police and in real-time on a Berlusconi's TV, on an emission lead Barbara d'Urso, normally the TV presenter of the reality show "Big Brother". The helicopter is flying every morning to check that we stay at home. They take photos of us and with a close-up they recognize us, they advise the police in the street and they can give us a ticket until 4.000 euros if we stay for long out, even alone in a desertic city, just enjoying 10 minutes of sun, after more than 40 days. "These are services arranged for the surveillance of government measures relating to Covid-19 and which are carried out in coordination with the ground departments and naval units". I feel like I'm in a movie "To Catch a Thief", we feel more forced than necessary, it's a psychological forcing. Indeed it makes you want to devise an escape instead of staying in houses. We are in one of the cities with the least problems and whereby geography we could sanitize ourselves first, even reactivating a kind of lazaret and quarantine, for those who are ill. Freeing everyone else. So instead we do not know if those who circulate are healthy. Do you know anyone who has taken a test? I don't, and we are the region with the most tests, apparently ...

BBC’s Joan Bakewell interviewed Marcel Duchamp in June 1968, just months before his death. Bakewell asks the artist about his life and relationship to retinal art and Dada, as well as his thoughts on more contemporary works by Happenings artists such as Allan Kaprow. Duchamp speaks about individualism in face of the group thinking that occurs in self-defined movements such as Dada. Some of Bakewell and Duchamp’s conversation seems still very relevant–at 12:00 Duchamp talks about stylistic repetition and its relationship to value creation and the market, and at 20:00 the BBC interviewee speaks with Duchamp about the commodity status of art and how selling his work seems antithetical to his purported mission to desacralize the art object. They talk about his prices a bit–she’s astonished his works sell for upwards of 2,000 GBP (ha!)–and Duchamp admits he is in a lower price bracket than say, Matisse or Cezanne, who could sell for 2 million. She then presses him about why he wouldn’t simply mass-produce his work, selling for a more accessible price such as two shillings, and he indignantly responds that, like any classical sculpture, you have to sign readymades and sell them in small editions. They close by speaking about whether art could shock the public anymore. Duchamp adamantly disagrees with the idea that art, as it exists in 1968, could shock a public, and that the context of art would have to change for it to be truly shocking.

© Francesca Seravalle A good day starts in the morning. Life in quarantine. I have always been used to converting everything into a positive thing, even the worst of bad luck. In this period also the computer has abandoned me. Luckily a friend helped me and lent me his. I start to wonder if the context makes you perceive things differently. Do objects speak to us? Or are we becoming schizophrenic? Is it coincidence or bad luck, in Italian we say SFIGA? What could the door handle mean in my hand and forbid me to go out to pay the electricity bills? Stay at home? Of course!
#TheFirstKiss in cinematic history “May Irwin kiss” or “The Kiss” by Thomas Edison 1896. This “racy” scene is from the New York stage comedy, “The Widow Jones,” in which May Irwin and John Rice starred. According to Edison film historian C. Musser, the actors staged their kiss for the camera at the request of the New York World newspaper, and the resulting film was the most popular #Edison Vitascope film in 1896. The film caused a scandalized uproar and occasioned disapproving newspaper editorials and calls for police action in many places where it was shown. One contemporary critic wrote: “Neither participant is physically attractive and the spectacle of their prolonged pasturing on each other’s lips was hard to beat when only life-size. Magnified to gargantuan proportions and repeated three times over is absolutely disgusting.” 🤍 #kiss #censureship #scandal Everything has its first time is a research project by Francesca Seravalle 🤍 🤍 🤍 🤍

May 20th, 2018 video by Francesca Seravalle during a wonderful day organized by Anna and Leo
© Francesca Seravalle The project has been realized for the Museum of Modern Art of Venice - Ca’ Pesaro - for this special event about the feminine archetype: Lilith, the first woman. Women of Ca’ Pesaro it’s a tribute to two important social revolutions of the XX°: the role of the woman and the advent of the digital era, by the painting from Ca’ Pesaro archives. In the video, their faces summarize, in revolution rotation in their axis, the new independence of the early twentieth century and are revisited in a story made up of images in motion. They merge and interact, in a continuous flow that is repeated obsessively, to sublimate the infinite faces of Lilith of the new epoch. The video is a dialogue between modern and contemporary art and aims to bring the visitor aware about the contemporary digital influence in our perception of art. With this digital intervation the roles between seeing and beign seen are inverted: we can percieve the eyes of the painting on us. The palace, was offered in 1897 to the City of Venice, by Felicita Bevilacqua, to host the collection of Modern Art, favoring experimental works by young artists, including Klimt, Boccioni, Casorati and Arturo Martini, who portray real characters and sisters, biblical figures, models, heroines, housewives, ladies and teenagers. In collaboration with Massimiliano Ciammaichella and to the art performance “Lilith – the origin of the woman” produced by ArteMide and supported by Musei Civici di Venezia.
1962 : Henri Cartier-Bresson : L’Aventure Moderne. Réalisation : Roger Kahane. Emission de Jean Bardin et Bernard Hubrenne. Directeur de la photographie : Jacques Mercanton. Montage: Michel Plat. Illustration sonore : Guy Montassut. Production: ORTF. Durée: 29 minutes. Noir et blanc. Rare images of Henri CARTIER-BRESSON photographing on the run on a market in a popular district of Paris. In voiceover, he gives his definition of photography as "a way to draw", to communicate, to testify, and explains what the "right moment" is, the link between the subject and the composition. HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON For me the camera is a sketchbook, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to give a “meaning” to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frame through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, the discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by the economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression. To take a photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. To take a photograph means to recognize, simultaneously and within a fraction of a second‚ both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning it is putting one‚ head, one‚ eye, and one‚ heart on the same axis.

Presentato alla 79ª Mostra internazionale d'arte cinematografica di Venezia 2022 “Forse dovremmo cambiare prospettiva e chiederci quale immagine del futuro vogliamo per la laguna e partire da immaginazione collettiva per rendere il nostro futuro più rosazzurro.” Francesca Seravalle Dall’Archivio del Patrimonio Intangibile della Laguna, conservato presso l’Archivio Vittorio Cini: Memorie, riflessioni, emozioni e voci per omaggiare l’amore per la Laguna attraverso una ricerca sul territorio, per la creazione di un archivio sensoriale e interattivo che esplora il rapporto e le tracce che l’ambiente lagunare esercita su chi vive a Venezia. “Esiste un patrimonio immateriale e storico veneziano nato dal rapporto simbiotico dell’essere umano con la laguna, un patrimonio che ha ispirato l’arte e l’artigianato rendendolo un tutt’uno con il suo paesaggio. Venezia e la sua storia stessa sarebbero inimmaginabili senza Laguna”. #feelingvenice è un progetto di arte-relazionale curato da Francesca Seravalle, interpretato da Chiarastella Seravalle e Erika Urban. #feelingvenice è un progetto ideato e realizzato dall’associazione veneziana Arte-Mide, in collaborazione con The Merchant of Venice e Bottega Cini, grazie al sostegno del Progetto Interreg Italia-Slovenia – DIVA (🤍 che ha visto la Camera di Commercio di Venezia Rovigo capofila di un progetto transnazionale d’innovazione e sviluppo tecnologico, finalizzato all’introduzione di nuovi approcci alla cooperazione tra imprenditori tradizionali e creativi. Il cortometraggio, realizzato con i nostri materiali d’archivio del Patrimonio Immateriale della Laguna, vuole sottolineare il ruolo vitale e culturale esercitato dall’acqua, ma anche celebrare il tacito e condiviso amore che ogni veneziano ha per la laguna. Venezia è una delle città più difficili da filmare, specialmente se si vogliono evitare clichè: la sua è una bellezza satura e per valorizzarla al meglio è necessario scomporre il sonoro dal visivo, e frammentarla. Ne nasce così un’immagine più astratta, fatta di campiture cromatiche dell’acqua, fino a ruotare la telecamera mostrando un orizzonte verticale al tramonto: un’idea nata nel primo lockdown, quando si pensava di più “in orizzontale”, in una posizione sdraiata che favorisce l’introspezione, ma anche l’immaginazione per un futuro di Venezia e della sua laguna diverso, rosazzurro. Nell’archivio Vittorio Cini – Bottega Cini - trovate anche dei video sensoriali ASMR, alcuni da vedere ad occhi chiusi: attraverso l’ascolto del suono dell’acqua si riesce a immaginare Venezia e il suo respiro, a immaginare un giro in gondola e a trovare una similitudine tra il suono dell’imbarcadero e il verso delle anatre. Una percezione della città attraverso i sensi è un modo per avvicinare il pubblico, anche quello non veneziano, a sentire e rispettare le fragili bellezze della città. Questo materiale è stato raccolto con una social campaign, distribuendo cartoline nelle scuole, coinvolgendo oltre 1000 bambini, associazioni veneziane, i cittadini e raccogliendo oltre 2.500 cartoline. #feelingvenice è un progetto di partecipazione cittadina allargata che si è diffuso con entusiasmo perché parla di emozioni attraverso un procedimento di arte-relazionale, attivando il dialogo e la condivisione delle esperienze legate alla laguna. Si è creato così un archivio di emozioni e di voci veneziane che raccontano nella loro intimità le memorie e i passaggi della loro vita legati all’acqua, dalla pesca a faia, ai traslochi in barca, dai bombardamenti in laguna alla campana che intona il suono del caigo per orientare le barche in assenza di visibilità, dagli amori nati per salvarsi dall’acqua alta del 1966, ai tuffi che si fanno ancora al Baccàn fino ai ricordi della piscina Passoni alle Zattere. Una panoramica di vite veneziane dalle più giovani generazioni a quelle anziane, un archivio di vite e di riflessioni, perché “il paesaggio lagunare e la sua bellezza sono una stratificazione secolare di vite e il processo di rispetto per l’ambiente naturale e culturale nasce dal riconoscimento del legame che identifica il cittadino con gli odori, la vista, i colori e le esperienze nella città d’acqua.” “E' più importante il palazzo ducale o la laguna?” © Francesca Seravalle / Arte-Mide
