Descripción de la Exposición

Exposición incluida en el Loop Festival Barcelona 2016. The chronicles of the time recount that in that movie by the Lumière brothers in which a couple is shown while feeding their baby, the viewers' fascination was not caused by the tenderness of the familiar scene, but by the movement of the tree leaves in the background, shaken by the wind. Because of their desire to capture reality, it is not unjustified that they are attributed the birth of the documentary genre. Following his particular relationship with documentary, in El olivo (Olive Tree, 2010) artist Claudio Zulian (Campodarsego, Italy) recreates that original movement, while portraying the vibration of a monstrous olive tree, metaphor for the humanization of the savage in the technified olive-oil industry. An ubiquitous lightning and a comprehensive post-production work almost put us in front of the documentary record of an olive tree from another world.
