SYNOPSIS

It was like a dream, filled with grave perfumes, with limpidity and sensuous chimes.

A misplaced device in a turbid instant where the mechanisms of humility ring out.

A crack obscurely revealing the entrails of nothingness. The memory of surfaces hit

by translucent instruments. A well where the atoms of reality loudly dissolve.

It was like a dream, filled with grave perfumes.

STATEMENT

The Atoms of Reality is an attempt at creating a wordless poem. Though at the root of it lies an original text, the written poem is not disclosed in the final work, becoming instead the invisible scaffold informing and structuring the shape and texture of the audiovisual fabric. This allows a better focus on the individual details and on the delicate interactions between visual and aural landscapes. In a piece where images and sounds carry and acquire intrinsic poetic value, the brief immersion in a peculiar, dreamlike reality, becomes an invitation to reconstruct and translate back the information and impressions gathered or received during this strange cinematic journey.
