Isola & Norzi

Something happened in Banna. And not something usual. Gail, Mario and Guido told us a part of their stories. We experienced another small part of it there, together. We all felt the need to return and explore former ideas; it was also fun to try and take them just a few centimetres further. When you try to imagine a trajectory - because this is what it is really about – a few centimetres can make a real difference. It’s easy to find yourselves all somewhere else. All down on the ground. In another story. Nothing is more enticing and fertile than getting lost. But, maybe, stories only happen to those who know how to tell them. And then everything still has to be learned.
