(La casa (ostinato crescendo))

Content: La casa (ostinato crescendo) captures a series of stereotypical architectures used in mainstream horror cinema: from the abandoned house, to the imposing Victorian house, to the dollhouse. In the video, the outside images of houses seen from the outside, deprived of their direct filmic reference, are forced to show themselves as variations of the same element and reveal identical signs while the filmic element works towards the construction of a psychological tension and its unveiling.Formed by sequences of day/night, the video interplays features major elements like the camera angle and position, the sound, and the evocative power of the setting. The architectures buildings are ‘performing' like actors, evoking an imaginative narration beyond the ordinary.
