Da lontano

From far away, images arrive of a past that is almost forgotten or that is from so long ago that it doesn't belong to us anymore, of unknown places or of a time that is yet to come, revealing itself to the tired eyes of sleepy travelers. A man, a woman, perhaps a goodbye… or just a seal and a penguin that playfully chase each other. Their sounds become voices which speak with words that seem to not exist anymore and which hide and play and blow on our necks and sometimes reveal themselves behind the windows, in a reflection.

"Da lontano continues and perhaps concludes a journey and a memory that began with Di ritorno and which continued with Dietro i vetri. I tried to increase the dimension of memory to an indefinite temporal space; the images belong to the past and to a time to come" (M. Santini).
