Agenzia Luce di Trieste is the meeting point of Valentina Giuriolo and Mauro Zerial: it is where analogue photography, professional excellence, photographic passion, rigorous approach and a certain vision of the world converge. It is the business they created together immediately after getting married. Valentina started from scratch, she knew nothing about photography, and Mauro taught her everything. Mauro started from scratch as well, after losing his sight in an accident along with the profession he had built. CRD is an experimental documentary in three acts that, starting from an absence, pursues an unexplored reading of reality. With a documentary approach Lele Marcojanni takes up the threads of a discussion born with Zerial and Giuriolo in 2018 in the comfort zone of their home-laboratory to go out into the streets of Trieste. Lele Marcojanni presents the first chapter, a study, which expands the experience of the first meeting with Zerial and Giuriolo and delves into the fear of losing images, into visual memory and the space around us that changes, the relationships between people that deteriorate over time like a jpeg re-exported too many times. Not seeing moves from the personal to the collective, opening up the search for the next chapter which, through a digital reworking, will investigate how to orient ourselves when there are no longer any references on the horizon.

Lele Marcojanni (Bologna, IT) focuses on filmmaking and visual arts. It started as a group dedicated to documentaries and then evolved into a path that intertwines writing, audiovisual, sound design, music and visual design in non ordinary exhibition supports tailored for its narratives. The stories collected and told by Lele prompt from everyday stories, far from mainstream media narratives. Lele Marcojanni investigates traditional forms of spectatorship by researching on screening formats, often working on the threshold of the ephemeral. Lele Marcojanni has directed documentaries, such as Carta and EVM 01, short films and mockumentaries. It was exhibited at festivals, museums and hybrid venues. It collaborated with several Italian and international performing arts festivals (Santarcangelo festival, Short Theatre, Live Arts Week, FUORI! among others) for the documentation of live works, experimenting with formats, practices and languages. Lele Marcojanni is the name of a collective visual narrative project founded in 2010 by Elena Mattioli and Flavio Perazzini.
