Quasi by Stefano Fortin, with Alfonso De Vreese, Lorenzo Frediani and Petra Valentini
Podcast on Spreaker from Saturday 22nd May 2021
Ascolta "Quasi di Stefano Fortin" su Spreaker.
In this moment (both in history and in my personal life), substantives, verbs and adjectives frighten me with their semantic density. More than clear meaning, I feel that what I needed was a vacuum, a word in which I was unable to move freely. Quasi (almost) is this undefined space, the impossible, the infinitely small that fills our daily lives, whatever that may be. Stefano Fortin
Synopsis
Almost is everywhere in our lives, in events both exceptional and daily. It is a persistent sound that accompanies the dimming of the sun, a couple making a sex tape, a cashier working at a supermarket. It may be hidden in the four hundred and eighty seconds in which we are unable to notice.
