
It's time to listen to the silence. Listen to the interior question, what is essential to us?
We want to hear what people are asking themselves these days, and we want to ask those questions to other people.
The aim of our project is to create unpredictable connections between people living in different places that don't know each other. By doing that we hope to connect the far away as well as the close by.


PHASE 1:
We made a call to people around the world to participate to the project. In order to do so the participants sent us an email in which there were written three questions they would have liked to ask to somebody about the historical time period we are living. They also wrote: name, surname and complete address.

PHASE 2:
We gathered all the informations that people sent us and after that
we sent a letter to each participant containing three questions written by another participant.

PHASE 3:
When participants receive their letters they had to take a video of them opening the letter and answering the three questions written on it. After making the video participants sent it to us.

PHASE 4 (STILL RUNNING):
We are collecting all the videos to edit them together to make a documentary.

PHASE 5 (STILL RUNNING):
We are going to send the video to all the participants and share it on social medias.

We gathered 114 question from 38 people from 18 different countries. We are currently working on PHASE 4 of the project. We expect to finish it by the end of July.
The project was selected for the virtual residency "AiR Helmond" in the Netherlands. 

When the project started, in Italy we couldn't phisically move to meet other people (except our relatives), but we could use other means of communication.
So we thought of using both digital and analogic ways: at first we used the power of digital communication to spread our call and reach more people. After that we sent real letters to people around the world. The letter could travel through all the places where we couldn't go and reach all the people that we couldn't meet.
