UN ATTIMO PRIMA, 2001
Indaga, during shooting, 2001
A huge mass of cold light-green water moves inside a great basin, where a steep retaining wall separates this water from another smaller basin, some few meters below. The green water there is of an even lighter shade, almost edgeless and shallow. This is due to a silicon particles contained in the rocks of the mountain: by remeining suspended the surface, they create that kind of unique brightness. As if he were measuring the sourranding space, an angler with a long white fishing rod moves slowly. Meanwhile, huge blocks of ice float into space.
