“The energy of dreams is the rebellion of the self against the void, a symbol that dissolves and is infinitely reborn. Through my works, whether paintings or films, I seek to capture that energy, just as the camera captures light. Sometimes the result leans more toward the figurative or narrative; other times, it transforms into pure emotion or concept.” — Gianluca Lattuada
