Luminous variations in the city skies
by Giuseppe Spina 6' / found footage / 2019 / Italy / exp-doc / silent Between 1932 and 1957, at the Specola Tower in Bologna, a new optical technology was invented, one that would revolutionize outer space observatory methods.

This silent film, made by Giuseppe Spina, is composed of digital scans and blow-ups of Horn D’Arturo’s plates. |
