The paper is organized in two parts, both devoted to the exploration of immersivity both in a genealogical perspective and through the analyses of a paradigmatic object such as the film Il buco by Michelangelo Frammartino. The first part consists in a theoretical reflection on a possible, and hitherto neglected, genealogy of the idea of immersivity to be found in the context of the art criticism of the 1960s and particularly in the well-known article by Michael Fried Art and Objecthood. The paper explores Fried’s definition of anti-theatricality and his discussion of the objecthood of the minimalist art. The second part proposes the analysis of the film Il buco (The hole) by Michelangelo Frammartino, a paradigmatic object for the question of immersivity theorized by Fried, which, however, is neither coeval with that theoretical reflection, nor homogeneous to the objects it explores.

Abstract

The paper is organized in two parts, both devoted to the exploration of immersivity both in a genealogical perspective and through the analyses of a paradigmatic object such as the film Il buco by Michelangelo Frammartino. The first part consists in a theoretical reflection on a possible, and hitherto neglected, genealogy of the idea of immersivity to be found in the context of the art criticism of the 1960s and particularly in the well-known article by Michael Fried Art and Objecthood. The paper explores Fried’s definition of anti-theatricality and his discussion of the objecthood of the minimalist art. The second part proposes the analysis of the film Il buco (The hole) by Michelangelo Frammartino, a paradigmatic object for the question of immersivity theorized by Fried, which, however, is neither coeval with that theoretical reflection, nor homogeneous to the objects it explores.
