Gramsci-Roma is inspired by the prison letters of Antonio Gramsci and the city of Rome, where he was arrested by the Fascist-dominated Italian state in 1926. The sound of Gramsci’s words creates a soundscape over the images of the ancient city of Rome that lie in ones peripheral vision between quotidian and tourism.
