These videos were created over many years as a kind of instinctive reaction to the reality that enters my field of vision. They were made using everyday tools – primarily a smartphone – which gives them the character of sketches, notes, records of fleeting impressions. Their function is an immediate, intuitive response to the dynamics of the world around me, without any stage of preparation, staging, or later construction of
a narrative.
​
Just as I use photography as a tool that connects me to reality, giving me
a certain sense of how that reality is created – and co-created by me – the video format allows me to include movement in these notes. It is precisely movement, or perhaps more broadly – a kind of dynamism – that becomes their main theme.

I have always been fascinated by the fact that in photography, movement is a priori frozen. We tend to unthinkingly accept that the reality offered to us by this two-dimensional image is a static reality. Yet in truth, what surrounds us – the space we inhabit, as well as our own bodies – is subject to constant dynamism, even if, for a moment, it seems that we are at rest.
One could therefore say that the video forms, which more and more often replace photographic forms in my daily practice, are for me a deepened form of sensing – a more complex, expanded experience in which the act of recording the world becomes as immediate and organic as the process of living through it.
