This poignant work by Roberto Bellini features empty spaces and nocturnal vistas of a suburb that are reminiscent of paintings by Edward Hopper. The landscape’s spatial arrangement excludes public use, creating a universe that is artificial and empty.
This video performs a re-reading of the space and endows it with a new narrative. It centers on a lonely figure that is glimpsed amidst trees and branches as he waters the ground, tending to this arid garden. Melancholy, an absence of meaning and a sense of despairing emptiness pervade the narrative of this poignant work by Roberto Bellini.
