Bruno Delgado Ramo

Inaugural Session allows the artist to explore the audiovisual and conceptual possibilities of the sky, starting from the Roman “inaugurations” and the observational practices of their augurs, and trying to link them to different elements of contemporary culture and of the medium of film itself. The augurs were priests who made predictions and prophecies (the “inaugurations”) by observing the sky from specific locations and taking as signs both the flight and song of birds and meteorological and celestial phenomena. During his residency, he intends to produce the first chapter of a film essay and to prepare an extended presentation conceived for the cinema.
