Diego Marcon

La Gola

On the occasion of Diego Marcon’s first solo exhibition in Austria at Kunsthalle Wien in October 2024, Kunsthalle Wien is publishing a book on Marcon’s film La Gola in collaboration with Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève 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.
