CAMILLA SALVATORE



Resistance often reveals unexpected forms of poetry. I call it collateral beauty. The people I portray are not mere subjects, but integral parts of my life.
 Through cinema, I pay homage to the love we shared amidst adversity. These films are testaments to those who fight with the greatest dignity.


Un Inferno
2016

The tattoo artists lead us to the discovery of a lively and chaotic world: "an inferno", populated by contradictory characters, marked by stories that hide a grotesque aspect and the drama of existences pushed to the limit. There’s no judgment, hellish is the condition that strongly binds even the crudest aspects of existence with attachment to life. Each one has already been judged and sometimes even condemned. In the intimacy of the tattoo parlour we observe their tenacity and enthusiasm. Events unfold cyclically, and even the structure of the film, without moments of stagnation and with a circular conclusion, emphasises this continuity: a day that never ends but restarts equally every time.
