The Lack

Just what is that space which hosts the six women's solitudes narrated by Masbedo by means of concise, perfect micro-stories in which words and sounds blend with images to recreate the totality of life? That space is called absence. The artistic experience of moving images is the distinguishing characteristic of this narrative debut by two masters of contemporary art. And it would be pointless to tell the story and try to crack the code represented by the signs, landscapes, shouts and silences that surround the women on their journey. In a project calculated with extraordinary precision, what makes the difference is the very subjectivity of the impressions. Indeed, anyone can rewind the digital film and unwind it again according to his or her own experience, to find what for them is the hard core of its absence. If art and nature are female here, there's a reason.
