The Sentimental Glance (2002-2007)

This seven-channel video installation is made of various film and video works realized during five years of the artist’s life.

In a stratified Bildungsroman populated by the portraits of six young women (Celeste, Rita, Eva, Dobrochna, Amalia, Eleonora), Valerio Rocco Orlando represents his sentimental education, reflecting on the tension between childhood and adulthood, passion and loneliness, melancholy, maternity and androgyny.
