Small Fish, Dog Fish I

Small Fish, Dog Fish is a journey into empty places, emotional and physical addictions, brotherly love, and memories. It is a self-portrait that shows the life change in a continuous dialogue with our spaces and the emotional and spiritual dimensions that create connections with the world in which we live and within us.
A Small Fish gasps at the back of a Dog Fish. She, in love, retraces his steps, taking risks through his world, wondering. It is a world of desert ruins, maybe once dangerous, now it is just ghostly and shattered, consumed by a past life wind but still full of deadly fascination, just like the Dog Fish.
The video is a heartbreaking haiku for a brother who never looks back. Only for a moment one senses his thin and slippery face, his skinny legs, a fragile and reckless beauty.
The brother regrets his past: the only coherent sentences are those that reject some illegal behavior disregarding people who still act that way. But the words, pronounced in a death temple, assume a claustrophobic meaning of those who are not free and will never be.
The small fish can only portray the derailing that maybe does not contemplate the future, or it contemplates a too-short one that cannot be stopped in a little poetic inscription.
A sister follows his brother, trying to protect him from a sandy wind that soon will blow him over, while she spends all her talents to give him eternity.
