In 1916 the Italian Futurist artist Arnaldo Ginna filmed, edited and generally oversaw the creation of Vita Futurista<\/em> (Futurist Life), the only officially \u201cFuturist\u201d film ever made. Created by a committee of futurists, including sculptor, painter and writer Giacomo Balla, playwright and poet Remo Chiti, writer Bruno Corra (also the brother of Ginna, and the co-creator of Ginna\u2019s hand painted completely abstract films of 1909), founder of Futurism, poet, and declaimer F.T. Marinetti, poet and Author Emilio Settimelli, painter and Ginna\u2019s film assistant Lucia Venna and Paolo Ungari, Vita Futurista<\/em> directly took up several of the ideas proposed by \u201cThe Futurist Cinema\u201d manefesto, which delacred that film was the \u201cexpressive medium most adapted to the complete sensibility of the Futurist artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the occasion of Performa 09\u2019s celebration of Futurism, Performa, SFMOMA and Portland Green Cultural Projects had invited an incredible group of contemporary film and video artists to create their own versions of the original segments in Vita Futurista<\/em>, re-imagining this film in relation to our future. <\/p>\n

Trisha Baga\u2018s Love Story of the Painter Balla and a Chair <\/em>was inspired by the Vita Futurista<\/em> of the same name (aka Cariacture of Hamlet Symbol of Pessimistic Passioneism) <\/p>\n

Trisha Baga is a video and performance artist concerned with building romantic structures that allow natural forces such as gravity, failure and imagination to interact with its subjects in an emotion based language utilising pop culture as a base for a landscape. She has exhibited at Art in General, Leo Koenig Gallery, Andes, Artist\u2019s Space and El Centro Cultural Montebermoso.<\/p>\n
