Fragments of an interior space had been realised in 1980 with P.P. Fassetta. Images roused by the meeting between reality and imagination and gathered in the mental space of the story, change as perceptions and states of mind change. The poetry of the bodily expression and the matter which is free to act in the vacuum, blend in the mutual feeling of nature. – L Viola …

An image that recalls childhood, frees the verbal stream of memory and the subconscious, reduces words to an indistinct groaning coming from the innermost recesses of the body, as amorphous psychic matter. – L Viola …
An intensely lyrical sequence. A movie in the video to create a tunnel through

In this case taking place means changing places, a complete and mutual
transformation, as is seen in the eternal contrast between bios and thanatos. In the video changing places becomes a moment of identification, favored by the ambiguity of a date, 1949 which is the only element two people have in common, since one of them died and the other was born in that year. – L Viola
