YUGIR (Italy): Burn Again

Falling to earth, leaving a trace, detaching yourself from everything and, later, coming back to the cosmic energy. BURN AGAIN begins exploring the invisible dimension, a dimension of pure light, beyond the material universe, which anticipates the descent of a luminous being into a body that will inhabit the physical space of earthly life. YUGIR is the testimony of a passage which is shown by the creative act imprinted on paper, a gesture that unfolds into the definitive awareness of separation of the artist from his own creation and, in the end, the spectacle of the near-death experience which every human being had before leaving affections, relationships, works and all acts of the material world. The return to light, a flame that illuminates both the animic essence of man and the resonance effect that all our actions have after our death, dissolves the vision’s experience into the the space that the actor’s body passes through for the very last time.
