Unisono Trailer (1974)
01 January 1974 2 mins
The video presents, in rapid succession, photographic reproductions of 92 of Paolini's works created over the previous 14 years. The use of video leads Paolini to consider the temporal dimension of art: in opposition to the then-widespread rhetoric of real time, the speed with which Paolini displays, in a fixed-camera montage, the photographic reproductions of his works erases any possibility of observing and identifying individual images. Unisono lasts less than a minute and displays approximately eight works per second. A temporal paroxysm that tends towards an ideal cancellation of duration, almost as if the works could merge into one another in a unison which, as in Yves Klein's Symphonie Monotone-silence, is both a silent expression and a deafening absoluteness of art.
