Eva Giolo is an audiovisual artist working in film, video and installation.Her work places particular focus on the female experience, employing experimental and documentary strategies to explore themes of intimacy, permanence and memory, along with the analysis of language and semiotics. Giolo uses her camera to capture the “mundane” moments of the everyday to reveal their hidden depth. ForThe Parliament of Marmots, in a collaboration between BiennaleGherdëina and Ar/Ge Kunst Bolzano and with the support of Flanders AudiovisualFund (VAF), Giolo produced the short filmMemory Is an Animal, It Barks withMany Mouths. In the valleys surrounding the Dolomite Mountains, children reimagine retell ancient Ladin legends while they examine bodies of water, holes, and caves and passages looking for something lost or forgotten. Through a poetic choreography, the film becomes a fictional journey connecting past and present. Creating resonances between the landscape, magical thinking and Ladin – the protected old Rhaeto-Romanic language of the valleys, a puzzle unfolds as a timeless fable.
