Free Admission. Event in English

On Sunday, December 8 at 5 p.m. at silent green., we present FOAM OF WORLDS, an ongoing film project by the filmmaker Anna Marziano, who is currently a resident at HaFI. Marziano’s film project ties in with our current research project “Terms and Conditions. The Legal Form of Images” and reflects Marziano’s research into the legal dimension of political ecology.

Intertwining reflections on precariousness, mothering and political desire in relation to climate justice, FOAM OF WORLDS is an essay-film, gathering traces of the intellectual and sensory life of three characters: a woman, a child and their environment. The latter is constituted by a small island in the venetian lagoon, where the water doesn’t stop rising up.

Marziano’s presentation of some excerpts of her new film project will be followed by a conversation with philosopher of law Natascia Tosel (CIEG, University of Lisbon), and cultural theorist Clio Nicastro (HaFI), focusing on the notion of juridification as well as on labor and care. Marziano’s previous film AL LARGO (2020, 62 min.) will be screened after the discussion.

The Harun Farocki Residency is an initiative of Kultur Ensemble Palermo – Goethe-Institut Palermo, Institut français Palermo – and Harun Farocki Institut Berlin.
