About

vStatik is a videoblog featuring the ambient video paintings produced by Alberto Monteverdi. Videos come mainly from unwanted or improvised shooting, garbage footage, or apparently uninteresting still life imagery, and share a series of common technical traits:

• fixed camera, mostly handheld
• intended to be viewed on the web in looping mode
• no editing, neither video nor audio: just the In and Out cuts

With this "static" approach to montage, I try to experiment with a language that blurs the boundaries between video, photography and musique concrète, by concentrating on such aspects as frame composition, light, and the rhythmic occurrence of field sounds. But, most of all, I wish to show some curious, engaging and sometimes witty slices of ordinary life, that usually nobody would care about.

Schedule

New videos are posted weekly, usually on Fridays. To easily keep track of updates, I suggest you to subscribe to the vStatik.org RSS feed.
