My mind thinks in individual frames. It tries to see things and explain them in one concise image. The park had all of those gorgeous umbrella pines that looked like the alveoli in lungs. I saw a whole nature/human/body/balance idea when I looked around. The comparisons were endless and my eyes were searching furiously to organize what I was thinking when we shot our scenes. I tried to express this overwelming inhalation of imagery in the movie. Repitition was key for me because I feel like I see things and then I have that image. My cognition is my best souvenier. If I remember what I see I can always see it and repeat is as I please.
Line was incredibly important to me in the visuals so we placed a lot of our linear oriented ideas throughout the film. The lines expressed the parts of a balanced whole, which is essential in a city like Rome. We also used these elements to make a sort of visual allusion to “Un Chien Andalusa”. It only felt fitting to make a quick nod to that amazing surrealist short. It was a movie completely made up of symbolism. Our own movie attempts to use symbolism for its main communication.
