Music by Cristiano Luciani

This work is divided in twenty four different parts. All the videos are also independent each other.

All the pictures were captured between the years 2003 to 2012 traveling throughout Europe (Italy, France, Germany, Czech Republic), Asia (China and Japan) and Sud America (Brasil, Cuba). This work is a intimate diarys of pictures: the events represented are captured from day-to-day reality by an extemporaneous use of the camera.

The music was realized during the editing and post-production stages, using concrete sounds and field recordings recorded during the same trips. Some natural sounds were processed and/or mixed with electronic sound (digital or analog), creating an abstract and visionary aural landscape.

The soundtrack is instrumental to the transformation of images taken from day-to-day life into an oneiric vision of reality, emphasizing the feeling of displacement that characterizes the narration.

The filmmaker exerts pressure on the objective time of documentary narration: memories get thus fragmented, decomposed and recomposed according to a new subjective (or internal) order.

The part turned to Asia was exposed in Rome at MACRO -Museum of Contemporary Art- (2010) and at Palazzo delle Esposizioni (2012).
