Riccardo's proposal for a project that may or may not be made

What it will be.

‘My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold The Rainbow’* is a short animation film about the process of becoming a bird. To create a space of attentive listening the movie set a meditative tone, addressing the audience in the steps to follow, and culminates in a visual interpretation of the achievement.

Why do you want to make it.

Birds, whose colour shades have been subjected to extensive taxonomic classification systems, host these archival attempts on their feathers. Becoming a bird, instead of studying a bird, we have a body which differs in the way it relates with and perceive the surrounding, compared to our human one. The artist reflects on the need of developing new ways of sensing, other than naming, to be receptive toward phenomenas otherwise hidden to our awareness.
