A dialogue between moving images, sound, and music takes shape in Unexpected Matches, a format curated by Alina Marazzi. The series invites musicians and DJs to create live soundtracks—specially conceived for Triennale—for rare or lesser-known films, as well as archival materials from film libraries and archives. The goal: to reactivate these works and offer new layers of interpretation and meaning. The first event in Voce Triennale features a VJ performance by Rossella Catanese, who remixes archival footage from the Eye Filmmuseum collection in Amsterdam, blended with modular synthesizer sounds crafted by Piero Fragola.
VJ Rossella Catanese combines her work as a performer with her academic career. She is a researcher at the University of Tuscia and collaborates with NYU Florence. Her research interests include film heritage restoration, historical avant-garde cinema, experimental and found footage film.
Piero Fragola is a filmmaker, graphic artist, sound designer, and professor at LABA and IED Florence, as well as the official designer for the California-based synthesizer brand Tiptop Audio. Formerly part of the duo We Love (released by Berlin’s Bpitch Control), he later launched his own audio-visual project, ANGLE, performing at various festivals and clubs across Europe.
