3 dvd loop videos ” Postcards from the World”,“Tolerance IN Tolerance”and “Mutations”, the fluid technological transcription of the pictorial fiction.
Concept: The ladder, a symbolic shape, metaphor of the eternal attemp of man to reach an other level, in order to escape through light, the everyday struggle and drama.
A hard, strong meaningful base, an open sight on the world and the humanity today.
