The story of Red Desert Chronicles started in 2008 when Adriano published, under the alias of Punck, an experimental record named “Pallassa, Red desert Chronicles”, inspired by the award winning movie by Michelangelo Antonioni “The Red Desert", that was shot in Ravenna‘s industrial area named the Piallassa Valley, an area which is crowded with cold factories industrial machinery and a polluted river valley that has a ghostly and suggestive aspect. Adriano through field recordings and electronic manipulation, created a very personal and romantic “soundtrack” for this side of the city he has grown up in.
Being and eclectic artist, he has continued his search within the Piallassa Valley, moving to a day by day photographic reportage, that has been appearing on a local magazine and blog, which shows the magic and contradiction of a landscape where the smokestacks of chemical plant continue to appear besides fisherman construction, urban suburbs, docks, old country houses in ruins and object that the sea returns after the storm. All these aspects live side by side, representing the pleasant and the unpleasant, in its continuous changing stillness.
This Photographic reportage and its soundtrack have now become an introspective and melancholic visual ad sound investigation, for you to enjoy at the Brixton East Gallery from the 28th until the 30th of November.
