IL PRIMO MOTO DELL'IMMOBILE

The childhood memory of the moment his father made him listen to a terrifying music pushed the director onto the trail of his mysterious relative: the composer Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988). While the author attempts to overcome an ancestral fear through a deep immersion in the spiritual soundscape of a visionary yet invisible artist, the spirit of Scelsi finds a new and disembodied expression in its ideal form: the sound wave.

“Scelsi helped me understand creation in different terms: he pushed me to go beyond the restrictive concept of art as catharsis, or mere expression of a point of view, or the simple result of personal ideas. Instead he pushed me to see art as a state of availability, of opening, which permits the artist to receive from outside that which nourishes his art, transforming him into nothing more than an intermediary. […] Il primo moto dell’immobile perhaps represents this vital instinct that is creativity and that we all have inside.”
