The Melody of Decomposition
- a Film
- by Alex Faoro
- Description (english) The Melody of Decomposition is a non-narrative super 8mm film composed of footage I gathered over an eight month period between 2017 and early 2018. The different locations include a reservoir, for which I have a particular lineal affection, a cemetery in the Bronx where my ancestors are buried, and a slaughterhouse in upstate New York. Consequently, the film explores themes of family, death and the loss of innocence. In doing so, it creates a concentrated rhythm and familiar cyclical pattern of movement; both of which result in a subconscious pursuit of the inevitable.
