Among the different experimentations that brought me to create animations that want to go beyond the screen I shot a video in an abandoned building near the suburbs of Florence (Italy).

That building was a mechanical laboratory with an apartment  at the side, I found there the inspiration for a short story about mysterious presences with the title Nascosti dalle Apparenze.

Looking around in this area I was fascinated from a sort of a veil of mystery that the thousand objects of the house create.

It was a place where people used to live and where every corner showed the tracks of a gone past stopped in time. I used that objects, like mirrors, chairs that had the signs of past, of time and brought to mind something disturbing. I tried to use that space like a canvas, carrying the painting to the walls, the doors, the windows of a real house.

Painting the walls and catching the scene with a camera I started the sequence of a story of two spirits that met, mixed together still they become a single being, than separated again with a feeling of fear.

The work aims to recreate the reunion of a person with the other self, looking for a existence that has positive as with the hug and negative as with the refuse results. An escape and a reunion to what we don't stop to know, the human nature and his unconscious. The man hidden from the appareances caused by the circumstances and corporality.
