Melancholia

This project is an exploration of the human inclination of holding to the past and feeling a pensive sadness, with no obvious cause.

The human inclination of holding to the past and feeling a pensive sadness, with no obvious cause, fascinates me. This project is an exploration of it, the result was of a mixture of characteristics a romp between personal real-life experiences and fictional thoughts, transferred to other people and contexts turning them into characters and sets. This mixture of elements, real and unreal, resulted in ambivalent ecosystems: fiction and reality.

This paradoxical, but probable place, where all the stories converge somewhere, a timeless, atypical space. A universe created by loved ones and not so loved ones, though they all suffer the same evil. This world full of memories, where they are never satisfied with the present and survive under the desire for a future that will rescue them, and a longing for the past that keeps them alive. This existence is based on the survival of entities that they don’t know and ideas that are inherited to them. Do they live their lives or the ones that others destined them for?
