BEAUTY

Director's statement:
The idea of BEAUTY is born by the challenge of describing the most important emotions that everyone can feel in their life, from birth to death, through fear, sexuality, pain and love. Classical art for me has been always the best way to visualize this kind of feeling. Hidden behind the cracks of reality there are unusual worlds and disturbing environments: these are the places that I love to visit. The characters that animate them seem to come from a collective memory and are thawed by the imagination, in a play with time, slowing and accelerating it to my liking. The bodies are transformed and, unexpectedly, reveal a monstrous nature. There are fictional references to guide the viewer, only situations enigmatic and full of symbols. In my work, there is the desire to create emotions, surprise and disturb, the need to respond to a creative need and, above all, the desire to look elsewhere. (Rino Stefano Tagliafierro)
