Synopsis
For Julien Blaine, Giovanni Fontana and Sarenco art has a liberating power and the ability to subvert tradition by going beyond the limits imposed by conventions. In the documentary of the three artists, their relationship with visual poetry has been recounted since the early 1960s, through trespassing in sound poetry and performance.
The documentary is part of the “Poetic Boom Boom” exhibition, dedicated to European Visual Poetry, and exhibited at the Galleria delle Prigioni, Treviso, from 13 December 2018 to 7 April 2019.
