annoyance

English to Italian Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Si tratta di una performance che ha come tema la scena nel labirinto degli specchi de "La signora di Shangai" di Orson Welles. In tale scena l'avvocato Arthur Bannister estrae una pistola e spara alla moglie Elsa che risponde al fuoco. Dopo una sparatoria in cui mandano in frantumi il labirinto di specchi, Elsa colpisce il marito e lo lascia morente al suolo.


Maria: Okay so you do have something to say, why didn’t you say it.
Me: I’m trying, can I continue now?
Maria: Yes, of course, I’m sorry.
{Maria’s translation: And each killing the other} [change slide l’un l’altro] (here the ***annoyance*** between us is still there, I shoot my imaginary gun at her, she quickly unholsters her imaginary gun and shoots me back.) [I think the next part should be spoken by a woman, do you mind if I speak and you translate for a while? “Are you serious, oh god, all right…all right!!” [Hah, power to women!]
Okay my turn again, just to show I did think about the feminist perspective, translate that!
That’s better. “Many have written about Hayworth’s loss of cultural and ethnic identity, and then her loss of subjectivity due to constant commodification, which is precisely the reason the closeups [change slide: pieni] of Rita’s face exist within the film, they were ordered by the studios to cash in on her seductive image.”
