Two melancholies: a girl and a kleptomaniac boy, their being on the side, separated by a daily living they don't recognize, with lives lived in a contemplation without action, turns, but only dream, projection of ideals and fears. Falling from the nest.

"The girl: warm and welcoming feeling of her nest/uterus. The boy: monochrome in his baroque crawling triumphs in the city of Lecce, contrasted by the blinding light of the sun (that flattens everything). As Baroque sculptures he has no meaning, or, he loses its meaning when somebody observes him: far, without abundance, clumsily deformed of richness until his "action" gets offended... total indifference from the others, the ones who observe him without his omnivorous kleptomania and his meaninglessness... he catches to throw away not to use, to have a meaning, he takes to vomit (in the same moment) inside his nest - in (de)construction". (C.M. Schirinzi)
