During the short and intense season of Bambini Oggi Mompiano, 2011 - 2012, Paolo Beneventi, who also deals with children and insects, taking a cue from Kristin Brenneman Eno, edited these pictures of butterflies brought by a member of the cooperative that hosted us, asking the children to tell them. And the children, with their voices and their presence,made the thing their own.
A locust on the wall. Watching the video, the kids explain it with spontaneous commentaries. Brescia - San Daniele Po (Cremona), Italy, 2013.
First videos are about insects and spiders, because Paolo Beneventi had been working much with kids about them, but we are awaiting for other animals, of course.
Children are generally protagonists not as video makers, but as discoverers of the small beings in the gardens, and as commentators. Listen to kid's voices, it's worth it!
The Chidren's Virtual Museum of Small Animals
is a project by Paolo Beneventi, many times started and stopped during the years. This two videos are from Brescia, Italy, 2014 and 2006, with children of primaruy school and kindergarten.
