In the video "Don’t Tell Anybody", Ferri counts the number of grains in one kilo of rice. In medieval times, scholars engaged in heated arguments over the number of angels balancing on the point of a needle. For no purpose. Scholars of modern day materialism count the number of grains in rice. For no purpose.
Ferri says, “A closed space can be a good space for the accumulation of energy. After a few days of counting the number of grains in one kilo of rice as a performance inside the four walls of a room, I have accumulated new energy in myself. Perhaps after this process/ritual (of counting) I will be that who I dream of becoming.”
The work can also be found on the compilation, "Exercises in Imagination",Margerethe Makovec & Anton Lederer (Graz, Austria) as part of the Serial cases video exchange program.
