Project Description
Journey To The Lowlands is a project that began in early 2013.
A road movie that recounts the dream beyond the frontier of the inhabitants of the plains, immersed in a still unknown microcosm, where life flows slowly.
Here, time is fragmented, blurred, dreamlike and the water has its own music and whispers the stories of the inhabitants.
Family ties, the bucolic landscape, places and animals: here, in the lowlands, everything is connected, everything flows and everything remains.
These are tales of lands below sea level, enclosed by mountain ranges and furrowed by rivers that overflow during the winter season.
The dream of a red Emilia has now evaporated; the earthquake has mown down a large part of the area, unemployment, alcohol and pollution have done the rest: but people continue to work and hope that this hard time will pass, they are tempered to face the challenges of everyday life.
Here one is used to the thick fog that remains for months and covers a vanished peasant world that should not be sought but felt spiritually.
Here the souls of our fathers and mothers echo like the sounds of a distant time.
