Marinella Senatore has used the medium of film to build communities consisting of tens of thousands of volunteers from around the world. After studying under Fellini’s cinematographer in Rome, Senatore exploited the potential of cinematic production to bring divergent groups of people together towards a common goal of making a movie. Though Senatore’s complex social practice sometimes engages thousands of volunteers for a single film, this aspect of social engagement is in fact the medium for an artistic output which actually happens after these large scale events have taken place. Senatore’s colorfully abstract sculptures from the Scenographia Cutout series are created in the studio by dissecting the sets built and used by volunteers in the various films.
