- This film on Renzo Ferrari is not a biography, but rather a kind of biographic spy, based on hints found in his paintings, like associations, objects, sculptures, shadows and signs. The paintings selected for this production are from his 2000-2003 collection and are rich in strong socio-political references, from migrants and their countries to multi-ethnic elements and peculiar characters, like Gaio, who is neither man nor woman. No experts, no friends, no critics, just his paintings and the visual and sound elements they express. I have known Renzo Ferrari for decades and have followed his exhibits in Ticino and in Northern Italy. The perspective chosen for this film is that of a fiction novel, a biographical journey through Renzo Ferrari's paintings. The film shows the areas in Milan (Italy) where Renzo Ferrari lives. It shows his atelier, small drawings in his agenda, scribbled notes in his diary, but also the forest around Cadro (near Lugano, Switzerland), his outdoor Bateau-Lavoir, with curtains swaying in the wind, his small atelier in Ticino. I also used some archive material, photographies, excerpts from other films and newspapers, and posters from past exhibits. All this is mixed together with sound material, with African music - which he often listens to when at work - with quotations from films and of sentences in French, literature, philosophy and arts history, sounds from the subway in Milan and from New York; cities, which have much inspired him. Renzo Ferrari is a "border" artist.
