2013 | B/N | 16:00 The act of opening and closing curtains would seem to be directed by an eye conscious of another eye. By closing the curtains, we have decided that what happens in the interior is not pertinent for the exterior, or vice-versa. This does not necessarily imply that a window without curtains is a public space. To be conscious of another hypothetical gaze is also to find distant company in the solitary urban masses. There, a persecuted consciousness can find a controlling gaze, perhaps opportunely balanced by the possibility of a silent, repetitive, quotidian conspiracy. In the machinery of global neighbors, the passivity of the domestic passerby is a privilege with criminal connotations. And it is necessary to forget this daily criminal drama for these windows to continue shining like innocent frames. Direction: Piazza; Luciano Participation year at FICM: 2016
