FUGAZI is an experimental short film that explores the genesis of space through the presence of sound. Inspired by Leibniz’s relational theory, the film suggests that space only exists when it is inhabited, in this case, by sound. Through a sensory and progressive montage, sound reveals, transforms, and collapses space, guiding the viewer through cycles of creation and dissolution. It is an audiovisual experience about the invisible becoming visible when heard.

During the Napoleonic Wars at the beginning of the 19th century, Andreas Hofer became a Tyrolean folk hero. As the head of a resistance movement, he became caught up in a dangerous political game of interests between the French and Austrians, Napoleon and the Habsburgs.

The liberal Bavarians implemented numerous reforms in Tyrol, including religious reforms, which met with resistance from the rural population.
