Private Project

Sofia

The real Art, is the one that syntheses the complexity of life, in other words, the one that allows, to each one that enjoys it, a different perception of what is exposed. And Sofia is exactly that: in a bold sequence-shot of 10 minutes, of pure plastic beauty, we can watch unraveled fears, incomprehension, prejudices, anxieties and wishes, and all those feelings come and go in a subtle way. An exercise about our poor human condition.
