The Chief
( Il Capo )

Yuri Ancarani
2010 - 15 min - 35 mm - Couleur - Italie

Monte Bettogli, Carrara: in the marble quarries men and machines dig the mountain. “Il Capo” (The Chief) manages, coordinates and guides quarrymen and heavyduty machines using a language consisting solely of gestures and signs.
Conducting his dangerous and sublime orchestra against the backdrop of the sheer slopes and peaks of the Apuane Alps, the Chief works in total noise, which creates a paradoxical silence.
