Confetti by Emmalea Russo

Description

By turns cinematic, cosmic, alchemical, and geometric, Confetti uses language to alter the boundaries between film and daily life. Against a backdrop of screens, personal relationships extend into a play of light to create a meditation on disposability and permanence. Confetti soaks up dirt, shimmers, and gets thrown up into the air, landing on the ground in strange piles.

Emmalea Russo’s poetry and writings on film and visual art have appeared in many venues, including Artforum, BOMB, and Granta. She is the author of G, Wave Archive, Confetti, and Magenta (forthcoming 2023), as well as several multimedia chapbooks and artists’ books. She lives in New Jersey and edits the multidisciplinary journal Asphalte Magazine.
