Until the Sun and Moon Go Down

An analogical tale intertwining reality and fiction, reflecting on how we inhabit the modern world while constantly 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, in close contact with the untamed element and set apart from the background noise of an increasingly frenetic and interconnected world, the remote island offers the conditions to experience a reality whose nature cannot be measured or planned, but only listened to and received in its fullness through symbols and analogies.

Drawing on the imagery of folk tales, the language of dreams, and the mythology of the Aeolian Islands, the photographic medium positions itself as a mediator between inner and outer, between microcosm and macrocosm, recomposing the fragments of this polychrome reality into a narrative guided by intuition, resonance, and the cyclical rhythms of the natural world.

The transformation of matter—from the alchemical itinerary to the alterations of sensory experience, from attempts to domesticate an unforgiving geology to inner changes—becomes the fil rouge of a narrative that maintains a constant relationship with its invisible dimension.
