A
diary. Or a sketch book. Some sort of video-case in which a lot of
things have
heaped up in years: friends, cartoons, travels, relatives, paintings,
houses,
pets, extracts from stories without an ending, different languages,
places,
three-dimensional models, graphic marks, sententious words, everyday
acts,
scribbles of various kind. A piece of a lifetime, one of the many,
which can
only be told through a most sparkling caos.
"Cantus
wasn't absolutely planned or thaught before it was
made. I think it came out
of my natural need to talk, at any cost, whatever. It started from a
casual
single image - a little white dog gnawing at a bone
- and then the short film
gradually took its shape, in a very spontaneus and rapid way. Its
contents are
stratified and multiplied materials, its shape is a logorrhea, a
rambling and
agitated speech, that feeded on significant episodes of the diary of my
life." (C. Cagnasso)
