Emiliano Ponzi and Giuliano Sangiorgi take us on a journey along the wait for the kiss. Crossing with a glimpse of imagination three moments of sweet hope, three universal expectations that are opposed to the dramatic expectation of farewell. It is by experiencing this tension that fills space and time that people can experience moments of pure happiness. To then consume it in a kiss, experience a moment of happiness, filling the time and space that separates them from their desires.

Three glimpses of lives, made up of wait and slow movements, of people clinging to the sweet hope of reaching the lips of their beloved, before it’s too late. Or too soon.

“The moment is about to explode. Before witnessing a real explosion, you can feel it in the air. It attracts towards itself gently. You feel it happening. Suddenly, you realize that, for the first time, you are no longer afraid. ” This work represents the explosive force of the first encounters, the first expectations, young hopes destined to burn. For a while or forever.

#2 – “The expectation of a revolution makes more noise than the revolution itself. When this happens, it goes away in a flash. It fades into moments of dance, in the light of bodies that are finally free to be love. ” In this work, the artists portray a moment in which love has managed to write the pages of a more just history, which accepts love for what it is: pride in loving and the hope of being loved. Nothing more. Nothing less.

#3 – “The wait does not begin with a kiss but with the desire to meet you again. We have waited too long. How much we desired each other. Now we are here. I feel you.” In this work the artists represent the intimacy of meeting again. The beauty of finding themselves the day after losing each other. To finally feel alive again. United.
