DREAMS II
Staying as close as possible to those fragments, transparencies, associations was instead the direction I tried to leave intact the nuances that the dream suggests, the contradictions and complexities of the meaning that we must then somehow define, rationalize, transform in everyday life.
It means, in essence, losing them, dreams. Our fragile human condition requires every day the ability to mediate between the fluidity of time and space of the dream and the concreteness of action in the waking hours, in search of precarious balances.
"Dreams" was born from these premises: it does not want to be the representation of dreams lived in sleep but the search for the subtle and hardly tangible matter of dreams that mixes, superimposes, blurs memories, details, sensations without predefined rules, in total freedom, without what we call common sense, without consolatory certainties but with a bit of irony.

When you wake up and try to recover the outlines of a dream, you put together fragments of images, of moods and inevitably you bring them closer to a coherent representation and tell them like a painting, like the sequences of a story.Staying as close as possible to those fragments, transparencies, associations was instead the direction I tried to leave intact the nuances that the dream suggests, the contradictions and complexities of the meaning that we must then somehow define, rationalize, transform in everyday life.
