CRA’P Collaborations 2025
JOURNEY INTO THE LIGHT
Saturday, 29 November at 19:00h
Abelló Museum, Mollet del Vallès
CRA’P in collaboration with the Archives OVNI – Observatory of Video Not Identified, presents Journey into the light, an audio-visual work by Alessandro Quaranta, based on the project ‘Illuminations – the experience of light’, a research project by Toni Serra *) Abu Ali who travelled to certain regions and cities in Iran to compile a collection of video footage, sound recordings and encounters; with the aim of creating, in the first instance, an audio-visual installation in an exhibition space. However, this project never came to fruition under Toni Serra’s direction, as he passed away at the end of 2019, leaving behind unpublished material and many notes.
Journey into the light is a single-channel version based on a sound processing by Barbara Held and the visuals’ edition by Alessandro Quaranta. Project coordinated by Toni Cots (CRA’P) and Rosa Llop (OVNI). After the screening, there will be a discussion with the author.
The materials contained in the OVNI Archives are the result of various thematic research projects, a whole constellation of titles with the common denominator of their free expression and reflection on individual and collective fears and pleasures. It builds together a vision of multiple facets, like thousands of little eyes, that deepen and explore our world, or announce other possible ones. www.desorg.org
