Geida - The staircase of expectations

A man, a woman, a spiral staircase that crosses paths and circles round. GEIDA, here illustrated, in this staircase of life, the relationships between man and woman; the differences in expectations, in perception. In a codified and cold world, represented by brutal architecture, do the characters expect from each other, have they crossed paths, parted ways; the woman does she hope that the man will join her, does she cast him a look of defiance, weariness, waiting; the man looks at her, motionless, and the body, though directed toward her, does he wish to join her… the desire to see them come together is palpable and yet everything seems to keep them apart. And right at the top of this staircase of expectations; the light, which illuminates the scene and lights the path. In a world that today tends to oppose us, this staircase reminds us that each step can bring us closer or push us apart and that we can nevertheless simply cross paths and unite.
