An imagined dialogue with the surrealist artist and costume designer Leonor Fini (1907-1996) springs forth. A mysterious narrator takes you by the hand through time and geographical latitudes, whilst Fini’s voice cascades through the winding streets of Milan with unruly sensuality. In the synth-laden landscape, her ghostly language becomes as transformative as her masks, paintings and fabrics. Unexpected narratives are evoked, compelling us to embrace our lives with fearless flair.
