This video was born in 2020 during the pandemic. Faced with the impossibility of leaving our homes, I began, without intending to, a journey without moving from the armchair in my living room. Then the magic happened!
A photo from when I was a child, sitting on my dad’s shoulders, began to move through time and space taking me to visit happy memories and also places plagued by monsters.
Objects that I collect reflected the history of childhood and old age. Stories of exile and migration, strange characters that joined in, while I was just walking from the living room to the kitchen. My turtles sneaked through unusual places and my dog wandered around surprised. Time passed and everything was still in the same place; but nothing was the same anymore.

I drew each stroke and each movement one by one “in the old-fashioned way”.
These drawings were incorporated into still shots of spaces filmed in my house by Mariana Sosnowski.
