2011, 8′
Original Format: HD
Presented at Lo schermo dell’arte 2013 in occasion of the Screening Program at Villa Romana
The film is part of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images – 2nd edition
In Alma’s hair salon we catch the coming and going of elderly who are washed cut and set. Clients are delivered into the hands of the hair dresser while the camera is the mirror where the viewer carefully watches along with the patron.
How will it be when I will be the one sitting in that chair? Eye to eye the transience of our existence is brought into question as the audience is drawn in and witnesses first hand the process of aging.
