Eva Giolo’s films are marked by a rhythmic quality attuned to the push and pull of the monumental and the ordinary, the mythical and the everyday. In Memory Is an Animal, It Barks with Many Mouths, Giolo turns her camera to the Italian ski area Val Gardena, nestled in the valleys surrounding the Dolomites, where she evades a touristic image and instead captures isolated moments in nature with her characteristic 16mm Bolex camera.
