In Isolation
FILM mixed digital devices, bw, colour, sound, 07’ 51″, 2020
“A Study On Behaviour, In Isolation” is the third film in the trilogy. Set and shot during the quarantine period, directed remotely from Milan to London via different digital and streaming device, it marks a clear unprecedented moment in time. It is a product of the confinement period, technically and creatively, we aimed to work with the constraints and boundaries that came hand in hand with the quarantine. This film draws elements from both the previous ones in the series, the private behaviour one exhibits when aware that no one is watching, for an extended period of time. And the frustrations and highlights that are products of this. It is set retrospectively, our subject reflects on the period as a memory but we still feel as if we are with her in real time as she narrates her experiences, emotions, struggles and delights.
