Into "Encounters at the End of the World", Werner Herzog writes: "There are deeper states of truth in cinema, and there is a kind of poetic, ecstatic truth. It is mysterious and elusive and can only be grasped through invention, imagination and stylisation'. This is the impression that Alberto Baroni's films give. In front of Le monde (a new card, after La force, of the Major Arcana of the Tarot), one feels suspended on the elusive ridge where reality and fiction overlap, as in a Fata Morgana, in a revelatory mirage. Through the figure of the mystic Mirabai of Merta, who wrote down everything she saw before she left the world, through sharp images documenting signs of life, Baroni tries to immerse himself in reality, to make transparent what is hidden, to pull back the curtain and see what lies beyond the first appearance. Pictures that follow a double movement, one centripetal, penetrating deep inside, the other centrifugal, towards a distant space. It is from the meeting of these two movements that an ecstatic truth emerges, a level of truth much deeper than that of everyday reality.

Apoptosis is a pathway of cell destruction or programmed cell death, and it's caused by the same organism.

Some of the images shown are from several film frames captured from fictional films with the characters removed, leaving only the background. Excerpts from scenes where a suicide is shown on screen.

Memory, history and nature - they are a kind of "difficult to read thoroughly" existence. With the accumulation of perceptual memories inside and outside my body as I walk, guided by the punctum of numerous connections, I have explored memory, history, and nature through the chronological and fictional constructs of images in the real world in 'The Exception of History.' This work aims to commence with the (textual) scrutiny of the visual, presenting the video record as a non-systematic database. In addition to capturing the tangible natural scenery of the area, it constructs different layers of reality by incorporating documentary archives and content linked to the region, historical figures who have passed, and individuals who have played distinctive roles in the locality. Through this, it seeks to express the indeterminate exceptional state that is difficult to define in that area.
