Project Info

Symphonic mind (La mente orchestra)

In the past it was believed that Nature could express through music a deep and secret message which was able to bring knowledge about the origin of the Universe.

A message representing the vital and beating heart of everything and which was supposed to identify itself with the primal vibration that gave life to the Universe.

Sounds, rhythms, vibrations, a primordial language that each one of us carries inside.

The photographs were taken in a health, research and training center for people with mental health difficulties and focused on increasing the potential of musical language.

Sequeri Esagramma ONLUS foundation manages: educational and therapeutic itineraries exclusively addressed to disadvantaged people together with their families and art events where they are involved. The itineraries are unique in Europe.
