“Oreste's regret”:
The inspiration comes from the “Lottatori” attributed to Mirone of Eleutère (V sec a.c.), a sport scene strictly related to precise rules that attribute the victory to the more skilful and strong athlete. Extreme sexual confusion between two bodies with strong connotation of ambiguity. The point of view is nearly that one of the television camera that chases the personages as nearly blowing on their hills.
The spectator is therefore behind the shoulders of the personages and he is impotent regarding the outcome of this combat in which the nakedness and the position of the protagonists prevents to recognize the same ones and to attribute them an identity.
The passage between the plans of the truth and the ideal is perceptible instinctively also from the position of the feet that progressively are raised from the black background receiving a powerful dynamic force exploited from a higher perspective.
