'Sentieri vengono tracciati dove prima non ce n’erano' flips the majestic narrative of conquest into a sensory, attentive exploration. Looking past the main protagonists in an anonymous photograph and onto a little figure in the background, a speculative future ascent opens a new narrative space that reflects on our ecological realities; one where the mountain escapes its fixed spot in our collective imagination, becoming an animated yet fragile and impermanent character, subject to change. Following the tiny figure that appears in the image on the poster, the films trace new paths between desire and photography, along the life cycle of a single image.
