Siberia
2019 / Duration 28′
Siberia is an experimental visual essay that documents the colossal journey along the world’s longest railway line: the Trans-Siberian. A century-old route, an engineering marvel, and a silent witness to history, the “Rossiya” train departs from Moscow every two days to reach, ten thousand kilometers later, the waters of the Pacific. Siberia is a symphony in motion of landscapes and textures, lights and shadows, ranging from the silence of the taiga to the immensity of the steppe, from the majesty of Lake Baikal to the harshness of the industrial cities that mark its winding route. Through visual fragments and the cadence of the landscape’s movement, always oriented towards the rising sun, Siberia reveals the beauty of contemplating a frame: the view through a train window, within another frame, that of the camera.
