Primogenito complesso

A Complex Firstborn
by Lavinia Chianello, Creus Tomàs
Country: Italy
Year: 2007
Duration: 11'


A firstborn child and his little brother illustrate the eternal struggle between the old and the new.

“In a suspended and dreamlike state, symbolic elements and characters built with metal and colored wires chase after each other, frame after frame. A firstborn child and his newborn brother bring onstage the eternal struggle for survival that takes place when the new arrival brings the status quo into question.”
