ZLR Betriebsimperium presents jewelry, textile art, sculpture and performance in a video inspired by Roman Saturnalia.
Saturnalia was a major winter festivity in ancient Rome. It was celebrated with partying, dancing, drinking, love making etc. Saturnalia has influenced many European traditions including Christmas. It was widely believed that the era of Saturn, father of all gods, was the merriest time for humanity.
The doric landscape of Arcadia is reflected in the visual language of the film scenes. Movies by Sergei Parajanov and Federico Fellini have also been a source of inspiration for this video. Movement, dance and costumes are based on Roman murals and Byzantine manuscripts.
