STATION TO STATION
di/by Doug Aitken. Usa/Germania. 72′. V.O. inglese con sottotitoli in italiano.

In concorso al Sundance Film Festival. Primo lungometraggio dell’artista americano Doug Aitken, Leone d’oro della Biennale di Venezia. Il film, che risente della formazione cinetica del video d’arte e della velocità del videclip, racconta il viaggio da New York a San Francisco su un treno concepito come una “scultura cinetica di luce”. In 24 giorni, sono state toccate oltre 4.000 miglia viaggiando in treno attraverso gli Stati Uniti coinvolgendo un gruppo di artisti, musicisti e performer tra cui Patti Smith e Beck. Aitken non si limita più al solo mondo all’arte, ma spazia verso letteratura, musica, cibo e cinema. 

Doug Aitken, artista americano pluripremiato, Leone d’oro della Biennale di Venezia nel 1999 e il  Nam June Paik Art Center Prize, è conosciuto nel mondo per le sue straordinarie opere di luci, suoni e immagini. Esplora ogni medium, dalle installazioni al cinema, al video d’arte. I suoi lavori sono stati presentati nei musei e nelle gallerie più prestigiose del mondo tra cui Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the Vienna Secession, the Serpentine Gallery, e il Centre Georges Pompidou.
