An alien figure attempts to get in touch with his terrestrial alter ego. And then, it get losts.
Through a performative act described by images and videos, the project tells about an alienating landscape and the attempt to inhabit it.
First Act. Research.
It happened by chance, one spring night. It came from another dimension. To study the world it gets lost in the city, among its forms without rules.
It’s looking for someone, it’s looking for me. Up to a cornfield on the edge of the city, a radio astronomy station where you can «hear the sound of the stars»*.
My ears are ringing all the time.
It’s looking for a contact. And I run away.
* The Red Desert, 1964 by Michelangelo Antonioni.
Second act. Encounter.
At the end, they found each other, the alien figure and his alter ego. In a mountain village, on the occasion of the passing of the terrestrial grandmother.
Here it is impossible to get lost. I know the place well, I can become its guide. It is the place of remembrance.
All that remains is to explore it, playing around it, reconstructing with the imagination what was once reality.
