Montage, today, is a widespread procedure that doesn’t concern just artistic production, but also our daily lives and the use everyone makes of that huge visual archive contemporary media places at our disposal.
As stated by Jacques Derrida, nothing is less reliable or less clear today than the word “archive.” But it is precisely within the semantic openendedness of this notion that contemporary practices of cinema and art have developed, starting to also investigate what the archive is not, or does not seem to be.
Now that cinema is abandoning analogue production, the cinematographic work of Paolo Gioli is even more meaningful in the debate on the position of cinema and media art in the digital era. The book expands reflections developed at the Film Forum Festival (Gorizia, 17th March 2013) dedicated to Gioli, presenting an original text authored by him.
