Until the Sun and Moon go down

Moving between reality and fiction, this analogical tale reflects on the tensions of inhabiting the modern world, while offering glimpses into the realm of night and dreams.

Until the Sun and Moon go down traces the ridges and facets of an insular microcosm shaped by opposing forces and hidden symmetries, poised between limit and possibility.

Immersed in a rarefied sensory landscape, set apart from the background noise of an increasingly frenetic and interconnected world, and in close contact with the untamed element, the remote island offers the conditions for experiencing a reality that cannot be measured or predicted but only approached through symbols and metaphors.

Drawing on the imagery of folk tales, the language of dreams, and the mythology of the Aeolian archipelago, the photographic medium operates as a mediator between inner and outer worlds, between microcosm and macrocosm, assembling fragments of a polychrome reality through intuition, resonance, and the cyclical rhythms of nature.

The transformation of matter—from the alchemical journey to shifts in sensory perception, from attempts to domesticate an unforgiving geology to inner change—becomes the fil rouge of a narrative that remains bound to its invisible dimension.
