“Il giorno in cui si spense il sole” proposes a reality that is both tangible and dreamlike. It’s a visual speculation that evokes an apocalyptic, atmospheric future in which the spectator can wander guided by his own imagination. The narration is an exploration between invisible realities and photographic truths, it illustrates an hypothetical end of the world when the sun, after the sunset, turn off, replaced by the moon, a star, or perhaps the sun itself -anemic-, which plunges the Earth into an eternal night, and envelops things in an unnatural light. In the space of the image, the metamorphosis of reality takes place, which is shaped by the technical possibilities of photography, and which creates a credible parallel reality. Present and future coexist in a speculative scenario that transforms illusions and nightmares of our imperfect present into possibilities or catastrophes. Reflections, born from a fantasy, that want to investigate our reality, projected into an -other- time and place, to see our present’s critical issues. The science-fiction sequence reveals and translate the profound anxiety about the threat of the imminent ecological catastrophe that could extinguish all life on Earth, transforming the latent images of a possible future by questioning the aesthetic category of the sublime, and showing, this way, the perverse pleasure of looking at something that is dying.
