The Melody of Decomposition is a non-narrative super 8mm film composed of footage Alex gathered over the course of eight months between 2017 and 2018. The different locations include a reservoir, for which Faoro has a particular lineal affection, a cemetery in the Bronx where his ancestors were buried, and a slaughterhouse in upstate New York. Consequently, the film explores themes of family, death and the loss of innocence. In doing so, it creates a concentrated rhythm and familiar cyclical pattern of movement; both of which result in a subconscious pursuit of the inevitable.
