Abyss of days, Foam of nights

Is an interior-exterior testimony of a daily life outside through a window and an underground being. A cinematographic imaginary performed around internal borders due to the oscillation of the sun on the soul, social pressures, precariousness, loneliness. An intimate state, sometimes hidden from the eyes of a swarming, energy-consuming, often gray and polluted city-dweller, experienced by a large majority of immigrants far from one of the 5 parallels that is Ecuador.

Internal borders are often insidious partitions and create abysses between living things and places. 

Sometimes bigger events often catch up with us. The submersive wave caused by the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020 has increased the void, divided people, exacerbated pain and broken the bonds. The imaginary makes it possible to extract itself from it. Even if space is lacking, the cells and thoughts of this being move. He moves his imagination sequence after sequence to release his creativity and escape. Because the slightest movement is life, "Abyss of days, Foam of nights" is an illustration and an echo of it.
