fold/interval – f/i short film is a moving-image work by Giulia Bruno, developed with Giuseppe Ielasi and Fabio Perletta, extending the project’s research into sound, photography, rhythm, atmosphere and perception. With f/i short film, fold/interval expands into moving images, extending its exploration of sound, photography, and perception through the temporal language of film. The short film emerges not as an appendix to the project, but as one of its possible forms: a new interval in which image, rhythm, and atmosphere are allowed to unfold with their own logic.
The work inhabits a space of suspension, where visual fragments and sonic presence generate a field of attention rather than a linear narrative. As in the record and the photographic edition, what matters here is not description, but relation: the subtle way in which elements echo, drift, and remain open. The film becomes a passage through time and matter, a perceptual threshold in which the project’s visual and sonic research takes on a new form
Available on the fold/interval website, f/i short film is part of the wider release of the project and contributes to its evolving constellation of sound, image, and duration.

fold/interval is a collaborative project by Giulia Bruno, Giuseppe Ielasi and Fabio Perletta, bringing together sound, photography, film and a photographic edition in a shared field of listening, viewing and perception.
fold/interval presents f/i 01, the first chapter of the project, released together with a record and a photographic edition. The work unfolds as a space of listening and viewing in which sound, photography, and film converge within a shared structure of layers, suspensions, and subtle relations between gesture, matter, and time. The project takes shape as an open composition, where images and sounds do not illustrate one another, but coexist, refract, and construct a common perceptual field.
Through a practice that brings visual research and sonic composition into dialogue, fold/interval explores a dimension in which experience is articulated through fragments, resonances, and intervals. Photography introduces a material and sensory threshold, while sound extends its tensions, turning the project into a device for attention and listening. Within this space, landscape emerges as trace, vibration, and a possibility of montage between presence and memory.
The record, untitled (1—8), runs for 33'14'' and was composed in 2025. The project brings together Giuseppe Ielasi on guitar, Fabio Perletta on electronics and drawing, and Giulia Bruno on photography and film. Published as f/i 01 — 2026, the edition is available online.

Giulia Bruno was featured in ArtReview Future Greats, selected by Mark Rappolt for her visually and conceptually dense work on language, technology, perception and visual research.
Giulia Bruno was featured in the Future Greats series of ArtReview (January–February 2018 issue), which highlights emerging voices shaping the future of contemporary art. In the article written by Mark Rappolt, Bruno is recognized for her ability to produce visually and conceptually dense works that resonate deeply with questions of language, technology, and perception. Her project Artificial Act. Research for a Film (2017–), presented at the Off-Biennale Budapest, serves as a central point of discussion. The work explores the constructed nature of communication and translation through the lens of Esperanto — the “universal language” — opening a reflection on power, ideology, and global interconnection. Bruno’s inclusion in Future Greats acknowledges her ongoing research at the intersection of image, science, and society, and positions her among the artists to watch in the coming years.
