“1-1″ started as a research on what means human sincerity in our society. How many layers do we put between us and the others?  How honest are we as human beings in our everyday existence? These questions revealed the absurdity of relationships in a society ravenous in its desire to quantify, where everyone struggles to be the best and speaks loudly without carrying about the interlocutor’s answer, with dialogues that transform in  monologues. What happens when you refuse these rules? What if you close our eyes and create your own world? Would it be less real? Could it be more sincere?
“1-1″ is an opposition between two worlds and a wish to find a common language. It is a return to childhood, to that specific joy, sincerity and desire to connect, and a fight to intergrate that in our “serious” existence. It is about reminding what defines us as human beings.
