The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève is publishing a book on Marcon’s film La Gola in collaboration with Kunsthalle Wien and Kunstverein in Hamburg. In addition to a foreword by Michelle Cotton, Artistic Director of Kunsthalle Wien, Milan Ther, Director of Kunstverein in Hamburg, and Andrea Bellini, Director of the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, the publication brings together three essays that illuminate the film from as many angles. Themes such as food, illness and symptoms, language and music are the starting point for the digressions of the contributors, namely the writer and artist Charlie Fox, the art and food lover Gianni Revello and the artist and art writer Sofia Silva.

The volume is supplemented by excerpts from the script and from the scores of the organ music as well as frames from the film and images of the production process therefore enabling the reader a kind of ‘making of-’perspective. There is a translation booklet for the German and Italian text versions, added to the main English book.

The publication is supported by the Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity within the Italian Ministry of Culture under the Italian Council programme (2024).

Diego Marcon (b. 1985, Busto Arsizio, Italy) lives and works in Milan.
