Experimenting in telepathy during the 1970s, American Parapsychologist Charles Honorton introduced what he termed the Ganzfeld (full field) Method. One of the two subjects involved would experience a state of sensory deprivation, induced by placing the two halves of a ping pong ball over the eyes, while indistinct (white) noise was played into the ears through headphones. Such condition would give the subject the necessary concentration to allow for the transmission of thoughts and images remotely, solely through telepathy, from the mind of the other subject, who would be situated in a `communicating` room. Suite is part of Zapruder`s project `SPELL`. Combinations of elements ?Spell? give rise to cryptic and solemn events whose expression is often uncertain, even suspected.

Since 2000, David Zamagni (b. 1971, Rimini) and Nadia Ranocchi (b. 1973, Rimini) have been working under the name Zapruder, in collaboration with Monaldo Moretti (b.1972, Recanati) and a rotating network of creative members. Since 2005, the group has been exploring the possibilities of digital, stereoscopic, 3-D cinematic techniques through short film, concerts and installations. zapruderie.com
