With this short movie the creators wanted to relate temporality and melancholy and they chose a dreamy shape to depict this relationship. Nostalgia is generally aimed to the past but that’s not its only dimension. Present’s nostalgia and future’s nostalgia are oxymoronic realities. Some people live in a costant condition of ‘fading immediate’, they cling with all their strenght to a poignant present.
Unwind this blindfold, unwind, unwind.
White, white, less white. A little red, red, red, more red.
(Is the sore here?).
Unwind, unwind, less red, less red, less red.
White, white, whiter, whiter and blindfold’s off.
Wounded was the dressing. Not the arm.
So, could this be melancholy and nothing else?
Carmelo Bene,
I appeared to the Madonna, 1983

They started working together during this pandemic era so most of their works are a product of long distance collaboration. They’re mainly interested in light, sound and flowers. First they gaze away into the distance and then they rephrase.
