Nine chapters of one minute each encompassing a journey into the night of body and matter, where the flame of ours truth is forged. A truth that warms, dresses and guides. Nine, like the hermit’s tarots card whose word is silence.

The house turns into an impervious place which, during Covid-19 restrictions, distancing from requests and compromises with the outside world and pushing for intimate, ironic and personal research. Then to retake possession of your body and your spaces by wrapping yourself as if it were the soul to shape the body and the invisible to shape the visible.

The camera becomes the hermit’s lantern, the knowledge that allows you to explore spaces and to emerge from the darkness.

Nine is symbolically the number of the human dimension, spirituality, and gestation, an individual and an artistic path that becomes a chal- lenge before reopening itself to the outside.

In this condition of isolation, every single part of the work was realized independently (texts, shooting, music, performances).
