Starting from an intense personal experience, I draw from my clinical material realistic images, which I transform into a pictorial journey. Central figure of the video is the butterfly, symbol of the soul and psychosomatic transformation, a small Odysseus, which awakes inside the body and takes us in new, dreamlike places, luminous or dark, natural or artificial, true or fake.

For the purposes of this video, many different materials were used: magnetic X-rays of the brain, landscapes-models created with artificial materials and then digitally photographed or videotaped and of course 3d-animation, but all of them within a single pictorial aesthetic.
