And tonight I’m feeling a little bit like this. I saved this photo some time ago and I kept it hidden and secret as closed in a drawer. Not forgotten, but I wanted to use it at the right time.
For the perfect post. Probably with all that black, the mirrors, the mask and the noir atmosphere could have inspired last Halloween. Instead, I’m using it tonight. In an ordinary November Wednesday. When nothing is going to happen. Everything is going on, accordingly to a script already seen before, along straight and secure tracks. And so I draw inspiration from this photo and I start imagining. To be with a friend. To leave at home the hip hop pants that I’m still wearing after the class. To have a warm scented bath, to dress in black – a bit of lace and a little veil -. To tie my hair in a chignon, not one of those, a bit disheveled, you make with closed eyes. A perfect one. A red lipstick and a pair of stilettos and I’m starting wandering. Probably by taxi first, then on foot … and finally go back home late at night, just before dawn, with the shoes in my hands.
E stasera mi è preso un pò così. Ho salvato questa foto tempo fa e l’ho tenuta come in un cassetto, nascosta e segreta. Non dimenticata. Pensavo di volerla usare al momento giusto. Per il post perfetto. Forse con tutto quel nero. Gli specchi. La maschera e l’atmosfera noir avrebbe potuto ispirare la sera di Halloween. E invece, la uso stasera. In un ordinario mercoledì di novembre. Quando non accade nulla. Tutto procede secondo un copione già visto altre volte, lungo dei binari diritti e sicuri. E così prendo spunto da questa foto per immaginare di trovarmi con una amica. Di lasciare a casa il pantalone da hip hop ancora addosso dopo la lezione. Di farmi un bagno caldo profumato, di vestirmi di nero – un pò di pizzo e un pò di velo -. Di farmi uno chignon, non di quelli un pò spettinati che si fanno a occhi chiusi. Ma tirato e perfetto. Di mettere un rossetto rosso e un paio di stiletto di vernice e cominciare a girare. Magari in taxi e poi a piedi…e poi di nuovo in taxi…e tornare a casa a notte fonda, poco prima dell’alba, con le scarpe in mano per il troppo vagare.

anche a me capita alcune volte vedendo una foto di catapultarmi nei miei pensieri e dar via all’immaginazione!
questo è decisamente uno dei poteri più grandi delle immagini! farci sognare a occhi aperti…e c’è chi ne fa una filosofia di vita come Tim Walker….dicendo un nome a caso! xxx
