Palermo


































I don't even know where to begin; Palermo is such a city where people say they're from Palermo rather than Italy. I've made new friends and had encounters with strangers. The video was created with Giuseppe, a man who used to sing for the opera for a long time. With the coronavirus pandemic, he started singing on the streets of Palermo for the people. I meet him at Quattro Canti. I walk through the crowded street, and suddenly I hear him singing. I turn around and head towards the opera. That's probably my secret passion: opera! I hand Giuseppe the darling ring, and he chooses a piece and sings; the facades tremble! The story of Palermo and the three seasons: spring, summer, autumn. A condensed narrative of the encounter.
