Private Project

Nine Different Nuances of the Same Colour

This film essay brings together the particular and the universal in a conversation with a landscape
framed by a window from a single position, which is summoned from the intimate, the historical,
the political and the aesthetic, to glimpse the complex processes that have shaped it over time
and, simultaneously, to deconstruct the gaze that rests upon it.
