MIRROR

During the months of lockdown due to the health emergency, I was able - in the almost total absence of any other social contact - to see (or to see again) a wide range of films. It was a way to make my head travel at very high speed, with changes in situations and perspectives as sudden as the transition from one film to another. Just when, on the contrary, the world was experiencing a suspension that went beyond the surreal.

Through the cinema, social abstinence turned into an opportunity to think about myself intimately, finding myself “reflected” in the films I was watching. Like in a mirror. And eventually getting to know me, perhaps, a little deeper.
