One evening in Brusino, a smal Swiss village on the lake of Lugano, at the age of 18 during a summer storm, I was shown a photo of a young girl in a family I didn't know, and I was told that she could be my sister and that if she really existed, she would be living in the United States.
I never thought to investigate further until I was given the opportunity to use the Studio 4 of the Swiss Italian Radio for the last time before it closed, where characters and stories had been created for over 50 years. And so I said to myself: what if I created my sister?
In this work, I explore the responsibilities towards sons and daughters, my relationship with the sense of family and that with loneliness.
Part of an ongoing research about the sense of the need of family.
