BORA

Video installation - 7'
El Kinògraf for CCCB, 2011


Bora is an audiovisual installation that recreates a very strong wind, a natural phenomenon characteristic of the city of Trieste, Italy. The Bora is a wind blowing in gusts taking roofs, uprooting trees and dragging cars. In Trieste, the days of bora wind, strings are placed in the street so people can handle from there and don't get blown away.
In autumn and winter, one of every four days bora blows. From the Alps Julius rushes down the mountain to the sea where the ships drift.
