Director's Statement: My video-poems associate words, sounds and images to create poetical effects on many levels. To me, it is the evolution of Baudelaire's famous synesthesia in our high technological XXIst Century.
Stay Away was born after a strolling in a city, seen through a distant mind, the feeling of solitude distorting my perceptions, searching inside for the sun, but being struck by the clouds. I tried to convey this universal experience into an universal beautiful artvideo.
