Anafora

Anafora is an audiovisual work inspired by the Daunia, a tribe of Balkan origin who settled in Apulia (Southern Italy), merging with local Italic population between the 13th and the 9th centuries B.C.

By means of contemporary technology, the electronically-generated rock painting and primordial soundscape, Anafora tells of a world of travels and migrations – a world between the experiences of everyday life (fire, rain, sailing) and that of unfathomable symbolic signs (dances, processions, the worshipping of deities, and death).
