"Blink", like the eyelids fluttering, or the sound of a raindrop fall.
It is an obsession about reality, as if our eyes are not able to maintain their focus on the things, so they need to be closed for moments in order to interrupt the vision and, paradoxically, to see better. Moholy-Nagy said: "Fear concerns the visual possibilities of the camera: on the roller coaster almost all of us close the eyes, while not the camera.".
The music is a tribute to the rain, seen as a filter by which looking at the nature and at the human nature. Here we have the Prelude XV op.28 "Raindrop" by Chopin, composed in a period when the author was in great desease and stayed in bed listening to the rain; the LadySmithBlackMambazo song "Rain Rain Beautiful Rain" and the sound of the rain of the March 26th, 2010. The whole experience is now on my mirror, a door or a passage through time and space
