It is a musical film, beyond the words that represent the soundtrack, which in their icy documentary tone contrast with the intimate and daily images of the private archive. The sky shadowed and threatening, a gray bloated with lake melancholy, which crushes Lecco between the mountains and its lake; the ties between the cold psychoanalytical words and the gestures described by the images are subtle and counterpoint: from the car, to the stars, to the eclipse, to photographic erased images. The lunar eclipse is also the subject's eclipse portrayed in them, through the cancellation and colouristic crushing that favors cold tones; if hot: disappeared. The survey is held, suggested, conducted for idea associations through a narrative voice that cools the pathos of the other voices. Everything is dramatic and at the same time hides the comedy - it contains its subtle contradictions. The yearning for the unknown, the metaphysical of earthly places is recalled in the infinite landscape of the stars. He collects the Testament who dialectically is framed first, asking for a smile. The childish request is heartbreaking, because pure: the smile is for him, the slight purr, the breath, the fan that turns and ends it all.
Author's statement: I left myself very guided by the case, which I find more and more fundamental protagonists in everything I do: I have rarely moved sounds to other images. I chose the images and then I am amazed, listening to the sound, to find interesting ideas (eg "The 400 shots of Truffaut", from which an extract is heard). The idea is a musical, rhythmic, moving film (a bit like in one of my first films: "Going back to domestic reliefs") and the ordering criterion was the breath of my son's sleep, which I used as a leitmotiv in various passages (returning to the generating breath of "Greisttmo"); there are my hair on the lens, the subjective, the dreamlike deletions of "1510 - dream on printed paper with video" (everything started with the work of painting on frames, in 2016). There is voyeurism (of "I see") that distances oneself from its beautiful prisons (the graceful railings) looking beyond. There is a strong presence of the night (as in "Concerto Metafisico" and in "Luna in Capricorno") in the constant "Investigation ...". What happens is a rationalization of what is exorcised in films as in dreams.

Author's statement: The archival pictures, painted, together with the memories and the intimate present, constitute the private part, essential to the film, conceived musically, rhythmically; the ordering criterion was my son's breath, while sleeping, which I used as a leitmotif in various passages. The words that make the soundtrack, previously composed by Dario Agazzi, contrast with the daily, private archive images, cooling them and creating contrapuntal ties with them: listing the complexes of Freudian psychoanalysis in an impersonal way and investigating perhaps the unresolved fears that are transmitted from generation to generation, like those complexes in which the self mysteries are hidden.
There is also what happens outside: the camera spies a neighbor, tries to capture the lunar eclipse of 2018, the streets of the city so familiar, that can become enemies during a panic crisis.
The drama hides the comedy - it contains its subtle contradictions. The metaphysical investigation and yearning is held back, suggested, conducted by associations of ideas, organized only by a musical breath, parts of a discourse that can never reach completeness.
I let myself be guided by chance, which I find increasingly fundamental protagonist in what I do.

Investigation and interrogation is at the heart of this project. We carve pathways for witnesses to ask their own questions and draw their own conclusions. We began with an examination of technology’s effects on everything from our understanding of self and others to communication, mental health, digital outrage, public and private presentation, and cycles of abuse.

The result is work that functions not as declarative, but rather as interrogative, always leaving the listener with more questions than answers. To suppose that an artist has all the answers is hubris at its most incessant and troubling. Here, we can’t find a singular truth, because art must reflect life. Instead, you are invited to grapple with the same questions that the creator struggles with.

The musical, lyrical, and visual motifs that repeat throughout the project may be taken as clues to the artist’s intent. But from there, you’re on your own. The only intent that prevails in A Feast That Never Comes is that of openness and investigation; there is no right answer, but there’s also no right question. You are hereby invited to ask your own questions, and provide your own answers. The work remains fundamentally unfinished without you.

Sometimes no is enough without having to explain the story of why. This video embodies and presents as many depictions of “no” as possible. It abandons linear narratives to embrace the abstraction & unpredictability uncovered when exploring the world of a sentiment/feeling. Many iconic “revenge/breakup” music videos starring women, portray these women as unhinged, crazy, and even demonic. It was essential that this NOT be the case in ‘Fine.’ In ‘Fine,’ the women are unchangingly grounded, empowered, and sane as they wreak destruction in order to tell the man who brought trauma/pain upon them “no.” The symbols of this man (his apologetic gifts, the infantilized submissive school-girl-esque image of women he finds ideal, the surrealist box-world he has trapped them in) are the catalysts for the unhinged/creepy/horrific tone of this suffocating-box world, not the women.
