Texts and inspiration

Elisa Zurlo is active in the production documentary films and video installations. Her research work consists in analysing the language of video-art as an author and as a researcher.

Invited in artistic-residence from 1995 to 2003 at the CICV Pierre Schaeffer, she has investigated in depth into the electronic-arts elaborating with new langages, poetry, pictures, urban space, landscape, and memory. To approach these questions as an artist, she initiated and took part in the production of the multimedia installation “Salitude”, “Flying Cities” (project supported by “Culture 2000”), and “The gardens of salt”.

At the same time she has kept a creative dialogue with the cinema, cooperating in 2003 at the opening of the “Polygone etoilé”, the new centre for cineastes and videomakers in Marseille (France). She cooperates with the association and the archives Boart in Bologna et Kineo in Trieste.
