A first work saturated in mixed techniques which echo radically through the darkness of Italian independent cinema. Actressstress begins using the two parts of the same camera and adopting an out-of-phase technique, immediately notable for its specularity. These first two minutes highlight themselves for the calm that passes through them. With some rapid progressive editing by the video artist Elisabetta Saiu, the work unfolds a double graphic treatment of the film (coloring the layer which was the emulsion was partially removed and drawing geometric shapes on the other) at an intermittent period. The photographic figure which Drago emphasizes is notable with its skillful framing and planning the luminous surrounding space.
