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

A wound is drawn. Some call it unholy. Life dwells, buzzes, here too: a haven built on the whirring, dry sound of a machine. Words exit mouths, images hands. They speak of bodies; bodies glorious, sought for, gone. Winged or terrene, there really is no difference. In dreams they weigh the same. What matters is the lamplight that illuminates each chance, each meeting of needle and eye; the warmth of a summer just presumed and how it hits the neck, the inner arm, the picture of a beating; the ochre of a city that, (not) unlike any other, acts like a precious womb — to death as well as wishes.
