The Bride

(La Mariée)

Joël Curtz, Fransa, France-Italy, 2012, 41’, Color


Dressed in a wedding gown, the Milanese artist Pippa Bacca leaves her native city in
direction of Jerusalem. Accompanied by fellow artist Silvia Moro, both women hitchhike their way across the Balkans with a clear aspiration: opening themselves towards ‘the Other’. As their travel-performance unfolds, the artists decide to take two diff erent paths and Pippa is later found dead in Turkey. We embark on a journey in quest of her memories.
