Postcards is a small (and embryonic) personal project, a research on the real landscape and its abstraction through the frame, on the charm of the random event captured by a lens. No camera movement or narrative will, only the succession of shots that investigate the landscape and capture random moments of interaction between people and nature.
The immobility of the video camera and the length of the scenes allow you to investigate and discover, within these fragments of reality, many details that escaped at the time of shooting: objects, actions, sounds; natural elements that contribute to creating small autonomous narrative units. Elements that emerge spontaneously and go far beyond the goal of creating beautiful images.
It's amazing to discover how these small cut-out portions of reality are able to reveal how much beauty is lost as we run every day, even when we're on vacation. It is my way of thinking in an alternative way to video language, especially advertising or generally promotional, which aims to arouse emotion through the accumulation of stimuli and details chosen with extreme care.
For me, contemplation, through the collection of small "scraps" of everyday life, is a way of reasoning, remembering and training the eye to a less hysterical, aestheticizing, and superficial way of relating to reality. It is also the way to save something elusive, absurd and unique that happens in the middle of the journey, while you are focused on something else.
Ironically, it is precisely through the abstraction and contemplation of a recorded shot, when I discover all those elements that I had lost while I was there, that I have the opportunity to reflect on the relationship with the concept of reality.
