Private Project

DRIFT N. 3

The movie is a photo journey across the countryside and hills of Emilia-Romagna (Italy), following the route of the high-voltage pylons. The impossibility of following exactly the pylons trail, due to natural barriers and private properties, transformed our action into a drift. The gaze, free from the usual reference points, takes off into the imagination, and the physical experience of the trip opens new perspectives and views on the ordinary reality.

Pylons, fetishes of modernity already part of archeology
alien presences, which habit made invisible to our gaze
dinosaurs grazing in the countryside
enormous birds lying in wait.
Families of pylons, the imposing ones, the heads of household, the little ones, the deformed ones,
the handsome ones with blue eyes, the loners.
The wires are wedding veils.
They are hands that marry territories
take off objects launching imagination to exploration.
