Deserto tattile is a reflection on solitude and the desert understood as boundless space and existential condition;
it's an investigation into the memory of the body, the haptic experience and the deep relationship between the gaze,
gesture and tactility as elements for getting in touch with the world and to perceive the intangible.
On the threshold of a misty veil an abyss of body and world places are revealed and hidden through a play of contractions and expansions that dissolves the definitions of limit and distance. Gesture, light and sound are condensed to create sensory mirages in which to lose oneself and meet solitary travelling figures engaged in probing, listening, watching, pushing, shaking, letting themselves be caressed and touched.
Deserto tattile is a journey contended between distance and proximity, clarity and opacity, union and exclusion, capable of suspending the rhythm of everyday life to the point of annulling our perception of space-time.
