Ascesi

The faint light of a match is enough and inner demons are released, shadows full of sinister omens, like the rise of a flock of birds to tear through a leaden sky.

Via Crucis at the Pantheon

On 11 September 2010 in the church of Santa Maria ad Martyres, commonly known as the Pantheon, a Via Crucis made by the sculptor Federico Severino was installed. The Stations of the Cross are represented by fourteen bronze panels and the ambo. The documentary follows the various work processes: from the creation of the tiles, to the casting, the chiselling and finally the installation. Of extreme prestige is the symbolic-theological advice of Don Angelo Pavesi.

Coincidentia Oppositorum

Black desert

Boy down

The name of the song is inspired by “Little Boy”; or rather the code name that was used for the atomic bomb launched on August 6, 1945 on the city of Hiroshima. The play on words “Little Boy / Boy down” suggests the state of estrangement from which the protagonist of the video seems afflicted.
