AMORE A PICCOLI MORSI

The video aims to take up the large issue of eating disorders, but it does not proceed like a documentary or an investigation. In fact, the video attempts to use symbolic and expressionistic means in order to represent that suffering and "hunger for love" that is often hidden and often at the origin of this disorder. The video traces a possible way out in a new encounter with another person.


LEARNING PATHWAY
We began from the pressing situation that there were some students with these disorders in the classes. This is the reason why we decided to take up the question of eating disorders. We decided to translate the discussion into the making of a video because we thought it was most fitting that we could bring the body and its language into play along with its symbolic and emotional charge. Poems and songs were chosen according to the way they evoked feelings. It was harder to find the right gestures because the body is a kind of presence. It is a way of showing oneself, and a way of making one's own experiences come out.
