life on pause 2020

The red lily

Life on pause…. I was not afraid… I was annoyed…. I felt uncomfortable…

Experiencing a new reality, facing the new rules of the daily routine which passed in another unreal dimension, I was obliged to fight with unexpected circumstances.

Staying at home, forced to transform my private office as an extension of the company...

At the same time living with the family forced to combine different realities and trying to respect everybody‘s privacy. The loss of a beloved old person, sorrow and sadness... The panic about the repatriation of the most important person in my life, my son...

Red light…. An alarm …A restriction…..Red color….A passion….

Seeking for different expressions of internalization while needing to externalize emotions, memories and thoughts I began to discover my environment as a performer and an actor at the same time, including myself in new frames... I started playing a game of transformation, chatting with the objects, changing the scene and playing different roles, searching the simplicity, as an antidote to the external absurdity.

Me and my camera… Secret dialogue… Eyes closed, need for concentration…

I played with the colors, expressing my physical optimistic aspect for the future.

I played with the light, that gives life to everything. Even to indifferent corners of the house.

The space around me took forms and dimensions I never imagined. One scene was succeeding the other…. Most of the times the result was impressive...

This was the start of my transformation...To see the world around me from a different point of view…With a different perspective... I feel stronger to get things in order...

Because life is beautiful... with a red lily blooming every year at the balcony during the first days of May….
