I am traveling to the Edinburgh International Film Festival on the 18th of June! Starting from the 20th of June, it will be showcasing My Secret Heart, the multi-media piece of beautiful artistic work commissioned by Streetwise Opera, a charity which works with homeless people. The music, written by Mira Calix, is inspired by Gregorio Allegri’s 17th-century choral masterpiece, Miserere mei – apparently the beauty of the piece was such that the Vatican put an embargo on it, preventing it from being performed anywhere but the Sistine Chapel (later Mozart visited the Chapel, was able to memorise the work and transcribe it).

The animation was made by my favorite partners in crime at flat-e based on the motions they captured during Streetwise Opera’s workshops, together with programmer and artist Memo Akten, whom you might stalk on twitter if you so please. The animation is projected on a round screen (360 degrees in fact) with surround sound.

Needless to say I am very excited about the whole enterprise. I am now attached to the project so if you have any questions please contact me on ana @ flat-e.com

We will bw in the Dovecot Studios, 10 Infirmary Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1LT. Admission is free, so all the more I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
