Lapilli
The grieving process is described as having five distinct phases. Individual experience and emotional relationships shape and determine the contours and particularities of these phases. Lapilli is a proposal to listen to those who, faced with (the different forms of) life, have to deal with the death of loved ones. Paula Ďurinová creates a tribute portrait of her grandparents, with a visual focus on one of the elements of their legacy: their connection to the rocky, volcanic landscapes to which they dedicated their careers and lives. We navigate the flow of the waves and listen to the journey of the voice, the sounds, the emotions, and reflections that - pointing to both the human and the mineral - bring us a deeper understanding. Through a record of tremendous sensitivity to all that is here and what lies beyond - but all within and around you - the proposal is made to be and become closer: to those who are no longer here, to those who remain here; to what is here; to what will remain here beyond us.
