Farfallino
The film explores the ‘Farfallino’ language, a coded version
of Italian used by children to secretly communicate between
each other. In Italian, literally, farfallino means "language
of butterflies", from the animal’s noun farfalla. The work starts
from the proposition of a unintelligible communication capable
of transpassing species through incomprehension. While
employing mechanism of exclusion and inclusion, languages
creates separatisms and possible alliances.
