Set in the city of Ahlen, Germany ,“My Temporary Visiting Position From The Sunset Terrace Bar”, imitates an amateur’s film of the landscape framed at sunset. While the city strip is prerecorded the sky is captured in real time from a webcam shooting the sky of Naples (Italy) at sunset and as such, always changing.
The work, confronting themes such as exile, migration and border control, is enhanced by a poem by the esteemed author Ghada Samman and music by the international band Gotan Project and legendary composer Gabriel Yared.

People visiting the website can choose upon two ways to experience the work: a live mode, available only in a specific time frame during the sunset in Naples** (small size) or browsing through the archive where a time accelerated HD version of the movie is rendered every day and archived online***.

With “My Temporary Visiting Position From The Sunset Terrace Bar”, Carlo Zanni keeps investigating what he calls DATA CINEMA: a new way to approach filmmaking and narrative forms at large based on the use of live data feedback gathered from the Net, to create time based social consciousness experiences.
