The installation was conceived as a poetic environment with multiple temporalities, where reality, fiction, dreams, and fantasy intertwine. The scene, its atmosphere, and the elements that compose it are imbued with lived moments and various observations made during daily explorations in Domicella (at the KulturFactory residency, Campania, Italy).

Throughout their stay in the village, photos, videos, recordings, photogrammetry, imprints, and objects were collected. Through material and digital reworking, they play with these accumulated references to extract a fictional and fantastical potential. The artifacts observed and selected seem to create “a world.” Their shape, place of discovery, color, or the human traces within them appear as entry points for writing the genesis of an alternate world.

While a certain relationship to the image and its disintegration is expressed, a particular scene came to nourish the narrative: the strange encounter, camera in hand, with five stray dogs barking along a path at the edge of a forest, beams of light, and burning mounds. This moment followed a previous encounter with a pregnant stray dog searching for food in an abandoned playground.
