cache-cache
(05'00'' video, 3D graphics, stereo sound)
The video focuses on a door, usually closed, in a completely dark space, except for the faint light seeping from the room behind it. Amid the rhythmic flutter of a moth's wings and the creaking of the door, the latter repeatedly opens and closes at great speed.
What cache-cache (hide and seek) reveals is often incomplete. The image, generated by computer graphics, shows signs of unfinished light processing: what is known as image noise is the random variation of brightness or color information in images. Then, in the instant a character flings the door wide open and briefly peeks beyond, the image quality suddenly skyrockets: every detail becomes perfectly visible, the room's light floods the darkness of the night; and, in a flash, the door is shut again.
The image takes shape, reaching a moment of realization following the slow, painstaking process, only to dissolve again and start over, gradually, to such an extent that the memory of that fleeting instant no longer seems reliable, as if it had been nothing but a mirage.
No matter how clear and immediately recognizable it is, it is impossible to hold on to that moment of clarity – an intuition, a door briefly flung open – and fully grasp it.
Gabriella Sacco (Lecco, 2002) is an artist interested in exploring the human condition through moving images. Her compositions serve as tools for reflection on the audiovisual medium itself and the human knowledge process.
Fascinated by the appearance of an image that suddenly reveals itself and just as quickly vanishes, Gabriella has independently created audiovisual works in computer graphics. These allow her to build and observe, control, slow down, and repeat the scene in a loop, even obsessively, as if chasing a moment of intuition and clarity in the process of understanding.
In 2021, she enrolled in the Scenography course at the Brera Academy, developing a growing interest in contemporary art and digital animation.
In the summer of 2023, she completed an internship at Studio Azzurro, collaborating on the design of a light installation that was realized in Bergamo in November of the same year.
In 2024, the first in a series of independent works, Portrait of A Mute Man, was nominated and selected for exhibitions and events both in Italy and abroad.
