People Watching

32′ and 12′ | Cuba, Italy | HD | 2012 and 2016

“People watching” is a film about watching, made of a series of portraits of people in a public space while they are watching something we don’t see. The audience can only grasp what it is the object of their attention.

This work is a reflection about the relationship between performative art, public space and filmmaking, through a role game. People portrayed watching other people performing became a performer.

Shooting during Contemporary Dance Festival “Interference in Teramo (Italy) and Festival DVD Danza in Havana (Cuba).
