What if emotions were territories to cross? What if feelings were nations?
Beniamino Sidoti wrote 25 short stories (Stati d’animo, published by Rrose Sélavy, 2017) and Paolo Rinaldi built as many digital collages, using images coming from the archives of New York Public Library and MET – Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York.
Feelings and emotions transformed in refined surrealist and modern images, between steep mountains and unusual populations, silent dances and rivers: because narration, with words and images, truly allows to go through emotions, to live them, to picture them.

Silence, Imagination, Anger, Purification, Passion, Solitude, Envy, Generosity, Desire, Hardness, Growth, End, Lack, Untruth, Reborn, Hope, Dissipation, Melancholy, Mistake, Need, Nourishment, Freedom, Play, Fear, Happiness.
