Présentation
There are 4 million divorced fathers in Italy, many of them struggle to spend time with their children. I am one of them. Becoming a father is something to achieve. The period of confinement was a very alienating time for both of us, my daughter couldn’t play with other children and live her life freely, out in this world.
I wanted to tell this story using the space travel metaphor. Space is the most inhospitable known environment and the passion for space is something that my daughter and I share. We spent endless time staring at the night sky, studying the Solar system together or assembling rockets and satellite models.
Building our relationship has been a journey through the unknown, a research for a new world, a place where we could feel safe from the dangers of our time. A place where I could slip into a father’s clothes and she could see me as her dad.
