Disconnection Point

"Disconnection Point" is an original audiovisual composition which tells the tragedy of the terroristic attack happened on 11th September 2001 in America through the eyes of a child playing with his toys. The different clock times displayed and heard in the film represent the sharing of the tragedy by the whole world. Somehow USA and the world have stopped at 08:47 am of that day.

During the quarantine period in Italy I was not allowed to go out so I made this work completely at home. I thought about the tragedy of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center happened 20 years ago. I was only 9 years old when I have been interrupted from watching cartoons in television. I was shocked when I saw those terrible pictures and I remember that I have not watched television for months. In Italy it was 14:47 o' clock. The aim of the work was to represent the suffering through the eyes of a child playing with his toys. This is a very personal vision of the tragedy but I'm sure it was the same for a lot of children in the world.
