Experiencing Interruptions?

The horizon of the crisis

The horizon of the crisis arises from the need to face the demands of the quantitative time of everyday life, feeling unsuited to one's own feelings and perceiving life as a comet.
The vision that manifests itself is that of the relationship between man, nature and the divine, where the body is not just a perfect machine, nature is not just a mere representation of Darwinian evolution and the divine is not a mirage.
The frail body, wrapped in black and with a light that does not perform its task well, expresses the inexhaustible desire to grind under one's teeth the immaterial, the mystery that is in the breath.
A nature represented by the sea, by fire, by storms, by ancestral forests and Platonic caves, builds a subtle and osmotic relationship with the living being which in turn can be capable of scrutinizing the divine and transcending its own reality.
The skin of the moving images whispers the impossibility of leaving a mark in the daily life of our lives, which becomes in the passage of time a metaphor of before and after us, an ancient and incorruptible scale of creation.

Director Statement

A comet streaks
on the edge of the void,
they get depressed
in the shadow
the edges, dove
mute
they stagnate
the shapes
of the day.
Abyss asks
ransom e
all that remains is
beg for comfort
from your humble hill
of guilt
of pulp.
Let them catch fire
Now
the shadows and
let's get well
the bites of meat!
Let them turn pale
grim human distortions!
Let the outside be
the inside and that
the inside
be the outside.
Lava
in the changing blaze
your shirts
in tatters,
stick straight
in the bones and
sink your teeth
in the apple!
You who are the light
you swallowed
at birth
learn to die
without dismay.
The motion is faster
towards
there
end.
