I consider a desert as a place without specific boundaries, where the absence of any determined structure opens to the possibility of a new creation. The video Deserto is inspired by my research and readings of different theorists (Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, Paul Preciado, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Byung-Chul Han) dealing with the political and cultural relationship between body and language. The video aims to create a new language combining existing ones. In this “game of de-construction”, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s imaginary mixes with CeCe Penniston's lyrics as much as an invented hand-language mixes with the literal meaning of words. The result is a writing which fuses quotes with my own words. Each language comes from a re-enactment and, as the the voice-over of Angela de la Serna (Dj and music producer) says, the protagonist of the video is an actor. In the video, the words lose the power of definition showing their seductive sexuality, as in a pop-song where two dancers play the refrain. 
Who is the actor ? It might be Terence Stamp, who was both the Guest in Teorema (1968) and Bernadette in Priscilla, The Queen of the Desert (1994). However, his/her/their identity is not revealed and the images remain suspended between different languages constantly reshaping their form. The video will bring the viewer in a “red desert” where it would be possible to abandon any predetermined conclusion in order to open to infinite creations.
