Notes

On a wall covered in gold leaf is projected a video realized using one-thousand-two-hundred drawings, in which the protagonist is a trapeze artist soaring through the air. The girl, a light and fragile metaphor of the soul, is upside-down, however. The trapeze is hooked to the ground and oscillates skyward, bringing back the theme of suspension that lies in the unintelligible space between a drawing and the other, but also in the position of tension of the trapeze souls that belong to neither the heavens nor the earth. The video ends with a glare, leaving the viewer suspended and anxious in turn, inviting him to seek within himself the reasons for a possible hypothesis about the disappearance of the upside-down female figure, and all the implications that this thought brings with it.
