MIRROR STONE / 鏡石 / Trailer

HD – 35′

A mirror-stone is not a mere mirror, its reflection isn’t solely our reversed image but has something more to reveal. The body we see separate from us is melt with the veins of the stone, its textures are layers of time and the wrinkles of the nature appear on our own face.
In the moment we reflect on the mirror-stone we are looking into ourselves but something else expand our perception. While we are knowing we are known, and we become one thing with the stone. “The concentration realizes by fixing the mind on the sun, fire, moon, top of trees or mountains, on the sea, etc..so to be able to see our Self.”1
In transferring the Being outside we will be totally surrounded and at the end included.
We are very close to the mystery of the mirror in the japanese shinto temples which is one of the three secret treasures; the mirror, the gem and the sword.A mirror stone is refined rough matter, like the obelisk that slender from the square to the point, from forms to perfection, so is the matt surface of the stone that become clear and reflective when is devoutly polished.

IHEYA (伊平屋島) / Alessandro Tinelli

HD 3’19″

Reaching the island by the sea is already connecting with the place, with its genesis. What is an archipelago?
A space spotted by scattered condensed points of earth, water and sky.
The sacred place is signed by a long rope that connect different sites, the car steel is melting in the sun and the big stones of masculine and feminine stands like gods. Inside the mountain a cave open a narrow passage for those who want to pray the mystery of the sacred mirror.
