IV - Radiante is the fourth movement of “Allegory of Earth and Water” suite.
“Allegory of Earth and water” is an allegory of the natural elements, vital forms processors, with their changeable existence, their rebirth under new form, in a perpetual loop. Volatile and eternal atmospheres, where land and water are ideally interchangeable above and below of a hypothetical line of the horizon.
The title refers to a painting by Jan Brueghel the Younger but more generally to the iconography relating to the Allegories, to the utopian crystallization of the idea of the sublime linked to nature and the symbolic, introspective and somehow spiritual function it has on human consciousness .The work is divided into 4 sections, whose titles also refer to an agogic indication: I. Silente, II. Schiudente, III. Levante, IV. Radiante. As a farewell to this Suite, a postlude, Elegy of Dispersed Energy.

Salvatore Insana, video:
"For the videoclip I started from the Aamod archive material (Archivio Audiovisivo del Movimento Operaio e Democratico in Rome), and in particular, among the various sources, I used and re-manipulated the footage, never previously edited, of geological surveys in Iran (1950s) carried out by Agip Mineraria in search of new oil resources. Following the rhythmic crescendo of the music, bodies overwhelmed by the energy of the Earth emerged, towards a Dionysian dimension made of sudden explosions, syncopated manifestations and unexpected metamorphoses between living beings. “
