Wind is a visual story born out of my trip to Nepal to research and develop a film idea. Once back, I decided to give the story a photographic form enriched by a personal text. I wanted to show and tell the possibility of an exchange between science and traditional knowledge in a remote corner of Nepal, Lo Mantahng in Upper Mustang. And I wanted to do this through the emotions and thoughts of Nepalese biotechnologist Prativa Pandey, who was traveling with me to meet one of the last curators of Tibetane traditional medicine in Nepal, Amchi Gyatso Bista.
The result is a photographic story that I would like to be the basis for a film and an immersive installation that aims to tell the story of how territories, people and cultures can be linked by an invisible thread that transcends the present and the past. A natural, spiritual and very human dimension at the same time.

Fantastic Science is a project for short films on the power of intuition in scientific discoveries. What happens when evidence meets the in-explicable?
The voice of a woman –”intuition”– guides us through a mysterious journey in which mathematicians, physicists and astrophysicists reconstruct a moment of enlightenment in their research. The narration and its visualization are a free interpretation of the scientists’ experience and mix real scenes with fantastical images representing the unconsciousn.
I worked together with mathematician and astrophysicist Stavros Ivanovski Lambrov to find a way to express what is really in-explicable: a moment of intuition. We spent quite a bit of time talking, taking notes, digging into his memories and persuing. I am very grateful to him for the precious time he gave me. The editor Marco Marchioli joined the project, creating the visuals for its first promo.
