Bindi’s project initiated at an Artarcadia artists-residency in Le Caselle, Italy, takes as its starting point Oskar Fishinger’s ‘Walking from Berlin to Munich’ (1927). As an exercise, Bindi walked from one Apennine Valley village to another, 27km away, taking hundreds of photographs in preparation for a conceptual ‘film’ documenting the journey. In her ‘Annoucing notte sopra, vipere sotto’ installation, Bindi presents repeated field recordings and collages from segments of the walk, which are deliberately indistinguishable as start, rest, or end points. This is mirrored by the fact that Bindi chooses not to present the journey in chronological order, instead selecting key photographs as templates, recreating, disordering and repeating images. Bindi alters her walk from a single path/line, into a knot, where deadly and slow moving vipers continue to sleep, coiled in the grasses lining the roadways. Bindi also recorded animal screams in the Valley, people’s footsteps through the village streets and on marble staircases, as a back drop to her expedition, adding further layers of disorientation.
