Broken Melody (Trailer)
Directed by Iacopo Carapelli, Broken Melody is the latest music video for Italian composer and musician Caterina Barbieri in collaboration with artist Ruben Spini. We step into her carefully crafted sound, visually portrayed through the slow-motion footage of different bodies levitating, intertwining, and restlessly lying on the ground. A transformative body of work, we journey across solitary, geometric, and almost sacred landscapes that feel equally intimate and monumental. Broken Melody stands as a reflection of our times, in which the beautiful and the dreadful effortlessly coexist.
Iacopo Carapell
Born in 1990, in Milan, Iacopo Carapelli began showing a keen interest in visual language, particularly that of cinema, from a very young age. During his high school years, he formed a group made of young video-makers in which he experimented with different styles. He strongly believes in observation in the field as a way of learning and understanding the mechanisms, which is what led him to enter the world of video production soon after spending two years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. He collaborated in the production of numerous commercials and soon became an advertising director himself, standing out for his distinctive visual language, which combines his spirit of observation with the search for a brutal, but nonetheless poetic, aesthetic.
