Paternal scapes

I gathered eight close friends of my father, who passed away ten years ago. Together, we delved into the feelings induced by absence and mourning. With the help of cameras, I observe the bodies of these sixty-year-old men to explore tenderness, emotions, and the various spontaneous manifestations that emerge when they are confronted with strong emotions. These male bodies, usually under constant logical control, in the image of our culture and economy. The video shows hands, arms, faces, and eyes, sometimes embarrassed, sometimes resistant, and sometimes allowing themselves to be overwhelmed by emotions. This work has allowed me, through these men, to reconstruct my father, to confront him, and to examine my relationship with masculinity.
