The Thirteen / I Tredesin / Trinajsterica

2024, Italy, 02’55’’

Objects and people collaborate to create a new sur-reality within walls that, on the contrary, have lived a history. Thirteen children were born and lived in this domestic space for almost a century. Is it possible to make them talk again?

Predmeti in ljudje sodelujejo pri ustvarjanju nove nad-resničnosti znotraj sten, ki so, nasprotno, doživele zgodovino. Trinajst otrok se je rodilo in skoraj stoletje živelo v tem domačem prostoru. Ali je mogoče doseči, da ponovno spregovorijo?

Bianca Girardi

is a set designer and animation director. She graduated in philosophy, paying particular attention to the field of aesthetics with a final thesis dedicated to Benjaminian constellations and objects of affection. She then continued her studies in the field of visual arts at the IUAV University of Venice. She attended various masterclasses with international illustrators at the Stepan Zavrel Foundation in Sarmede and a couple of artist residencies, at the Casa degli Artisti in Milan together with the musical collective 'Delicatoni' and at the 'Segni di confine' residency together with the publishing house 'Bottega Errante'. Starting from the philosophical thesis, her research became practical and ranged between illustration, scenography, animation and direction. Her approach is linked to tactile art as a desire to bring the object back to the status of subject.
