Cochlea
In an all but motionless town, the movement of a marble ball awakens a drowsy soul. "Cochlea" is the descent into the mind of an old man who can't help but going round and round, prisoner of his thoughts and trapped in his past.
In un paesino quasi del tutto immobile, il movimento di una biglia risveglia una coscienza assopita. “Cochlea” è la discesa nella mente di un vecchio uomo che gira e rigira senza darsi tregua, prigioniero dei suoi pensieri e del suo passato.
