Guerre des Gos 16mn40 color & b/w stereo 2023 France
by Claude Ciccolella
After the First World War, Paul Valéry said that civilizations are mortal - mortal, because of war, mortal perhaps, because they are alive and because war is part of human nature... And wouldn't peace be part of human nature so that living civilizations do not end in war?

Sous les Eaux7mn50 color & b/w stereo 2022 France
by Claude Ciccolella
The third part of the natural disaster trauma brings out a paradox between the protection of nature, vital! and the cataclysmic destruction caused by tsunamis. On an incessant devastation, the autobiographical account and the tsunamis enumeration speak to each other from a distance.

Sous la Terre6mn29 color & b/w stereo 2022 France
by Claude Ciccolella
The trauma of natural disaster is highlighted in this first part by a volcanic spectral imagery, a belching of fire, smoke and tremors, where the imagination of this frightening phenomenon and the ambivalence of life and death, could have ensure the benefit of catharsis. But the jerk of war quotes, superimposed on this staggering spectacle, plunges us into an intersubjectivity of telluric emotions and an enclave with two languages, that of the image and of the written word.

Entre Ciel et Terre6mn50 color & b/w stereo 2022 France
by Claude Ciccolella
This second part of natural disaster trauma begins with a reverie of clouds and a pareidolia, which are transformed into cascade of tornadoes, torrential rain, storm and hail, and images of cities and fields after the cataclysm. On this destructive phenomenon is superimposed a written and homodiegetic narration of a sexual act where alone, the author, expresses his desire, his enjoyment and his vigor. Warm under his down, he gives us his fiction, without evocation of sexual consent, with the devastation of tornadoes in the background.

Sous les feuilles13mn42 color & b/w stereo 2020 France
by Claude Ciccolella
The tree looked at the man. The man stretched out his arms. The tree emitted sounds, these sounds became syllables and these syllables words; words which came out of its trunk, its branches, its roots, the earth. A palaver began between the tree and the man, on the flight of birds, the song of the ducks, the whistle of the swan, the squeal of the nutria. Attracted by the quiet presence of this being, the man wrapped his arms around his trunk. What made him smell smells never felt before and from her memory sprang a few sentences from Dante's Divine Comedy. “If you break a branch from one of these trees, your thoughts will also be shattered. Then, stretching out my hand a little, I plucked a little twig from a thick bush, and the trunk cried, "Why are you mutilating me?" Then turned all black with blood, he cried out again, "Why are you breaking me?" Do you have no feeling of pity? We are men, now we are bushes. Your hand should be more pious, if we were souls of serpents. »Shot at Parc Borély, Marseille, February 2020.

Quadriptyque 12.08.02.58mn color & b/w stereo 2019 France
by Claude Ciccolella
Epistemological aesthetics feeding on paradoxes, contradictions and utopias, where art and scientific concepts, entropy, antimatter and string theory... would get along and combine to develop and compose a world of new questions about our architectural, urban and ecological future. Marseille in four parts, the wild nature on its outskirts – "the Endoume archipelago", an architectural monument symbolizing its ambitions – "The Marseillaise", and its urban space in a specific political context – the collapsing of two buildings in the heart of Marseille – an "in memoriam" representation of this disaster. The videos December, August and February constitute the sensory experience of speculated and distorted scientific proposals, November is obscene death seen from the sky.

On the footsteps of antimatter, light is thrown in a compulsive roundabout of fractal temporality, an encounter between the image and its anti-image and their disintegration in a sidereal vacuum. Confronted with our desire to push back the frontiers of exploration and knowledge, our human condition undergoes a fatal test. A sensory experience of antimatter on the Tower "La Marseillaise" in a four-day-long cinematographic journal. Second part of the Quadriptych 12.08.02.

La forêt d'argent6mn35 color stereo 2017 France
by Claude Ciccolella
Mythical characters are hiding in this forest. Adorned with attributes they arise from the times and in a clever spirit honor this silvery grove. Their appearances are fleeting, will-o'-the-wisps jumping on the notes of a nursery rhyme. And before our eyes are read fragments of history, a story without words that slips from memory to memory, from day to night, from childhood to being. Each of these creatures has a message, a veiled message of shyness. We remain on our end and this is endless.

Ambulatory peregrination of an Ingenuous contemporary in various places of Marseilles. Its play is dumb, its shifted and burlesques actions. The image is accompanied in voice off by a diverting text, a poetry jubilatoire words, is made incongruity, of irony and espieglery.
