The video Immagine is the story of Eve and the forbidden fruit. The
first of many stories of the Old Testament in which food is involved.
A religion story wich takes cultures and immemorial traditions texts
and evokes two wonderful trees whose fruits are able to give knowledge
and immortality. Cautionary tale, common to all religions, which sets
scenes constant and unfailing links between religion and food, between
food and prohibits, between prohibited and transgression, between
transgression and punishment. The use of secrecy, mystery, dogma, and
the divine law by religions. A human construction of a system of
obstruction against the legitimate hunger for knowledge and freedom.

A cycle of the tide goes down and up like a perpetual play. A
reflection upon the cosmic dimension of its gravitational effect.

Summerland is a territory where human beings and animals are
exchanging a part of their souls and bodies. Here metaporphoses are
constant, corrupting borders and boundaries between species. Many
transformations occur secretly within the depth fo the forest. In
Summerland the point of view is always ambiguous, submitted itself to
a constant movement between reality and surreality. The title of the
film refers to "Slumberland", imaginary country visited every night by
Little Nemo, a little boy from Winsor Mc Cay's cartoon "Litlle Nemo".
Shot entirely with super 8.
