Film: The imperfect egg

Bio: The egg, a symbol of fertility, the succession of life, the continuation of the species, in one
one word, symbol of TOMORROW.

A tomorrow, however, that should be built slowly, without rushing and without oppression, a tomorrow that should be shaped with one’s own hands in the present, LAYER ON LAYER, in the moment HERE and NOW, with care and patience without the rushing and routine of a hectic everyday.

A tomorrow that, to be better, must move away from the frenzy of competitions, the wars, from minute and calculating schedules, from records.

A tomorrow without races to trade and business, without constant challenges, without performance anxieties, productions and records, without frivolous examples of models and Stars, social and web, without so much useless talk…

A tomorrow possibly without wars, without dictators, without pandemics and without crazy climates.

This takes calm, presence, contact and slowness. Let us therefore stop and change the verbs from the near future to the present.

And here then, the contemporary egg, can only be IMPERFECT, built slowly with the “barbarities,” superficiality and ephemerality of today, shaped with the values and symbols of a world in disarray. An egg that is born of man and, rebelling, absurdly fights against the one who originated it, in a struggle without winners or losers, future uncertain never as in this era.

Unconsciously, however, the imperfect egg represents all of us, the consequences we originate, with our our flaws and far from the perfection we would like to achieve.
