Abstract
Part of the Gorhcakov’s Wish series of works engaging with the penultimate scene of acclaimed Russian film-maker Andrei Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia (1983) where a single extended take and tracking shot follows the protagonist, the poet Gorchakov, as he enacts a ritualistic performance carrying a lit candle across the expanse of the Santa Caterina Pool. The scene was shot on location in Bagno Vignoni, Italy.
A re-enactment of this scene is performed on-site in the Santa Catarina pool at dawn on 28th April 2008. The re-enactment itself is filmed from close range using a hand-held 8mm camera, while the entire performance is documented on HD video from a fixed position across the pool. The resulting video work is Alba Lunedì.
