In this journey we will seek to investigate the extra-visual dimension of cinema, starting from the idea of the “fissure of the image”, inspired by the concept of Kintsugi What is addressed in Things We Do for Love.
Through direct experience exercises in the exhibition space and a brief capsule of historical references, we will explore how this audiovisual installation awakens auditory, proprioceptive (the brain's ability to recognize body muscles in space), and intuitive intelligence. The journey is an invitation to be undisciplined spectators, to stretch time, fold space, feel the image, and navigate the multiverse of cinema — to learn what overflows from the screen, sculpts stories and suspends the parameters that define our daily reality.
