The video “Untitled (misteri d’Italia)” shows a number of people interacting
with the optical phenomenon of the “gravity hill”.
A street where things appear to defy gravity, seemingly rolling uphill and not down.
The work is based on found footage and the editing underlies the relation between
ordinary objects and this illusionary aspect of the landscape.
