The Loop of the Goddesses
In a smoky bar, two women sit on impossibly high stools, their feet dangling above the ground. Their names are Nicoletta and Rosy, and they're engrossed in a conversation that holds the weight of the world. The room is bathed in an electric blue glow, casting their figures in an otherworldly light. They are two goddesses, bored and unaware of the tiny man watching their every move.
The scene begins to play out before our eyes, captured by the lens of a microcamera. The bar floor is nonexistent thanks to the green screen technology used to isolate the two figures. As they talk, their feet shift and sway, creating a hypnotic rhythm that hypnotizes the viewer.
Rosy, dressed in elaborate clothing and jewels, crosses her legs slowly. It's a movement that could be compared to a tectonic event, her manicured toes flexing and unfurling like living hills. The camera slowly zooms in on Nicoletta's ankle, revealing a high beige sandal and a cracked heel. Her impatience is evident as she swings her leg, the metronomic thud of her heel marking time for us.
The editing kicks in, and suddenly we see a close-up of Rosy's foot. She slips off her sandal slightly, revealing the perfect arch of her foot. The green screen behind her distorts, rippling like water struck by a stone, following the curve of her sole. Every line of her skin is a canyon, every pore a crater.
Then, a cut. The video shifts focus to Nicoletta, showing her foot shifting restlessly. The women are two bored deities, lost in their own worlds as they discuss husbands and vacations. We, the observers, are trapped in this digital loop, watching their every move in awe and curiosity.
The video zooms out, revealing both pairs of feet side by side. It's a four-columned temple, each column representing a goddess who towers above us. The blue light pulses, the voices echo, and we remain there, a speck of dust on the bar floor, at the feet of two indifferent giants.
As the video plays on, we are drawn deeper into this world of goddesses and giants. We feel their presence, their power, and their indifference. We are mere mortals, caught in the loop of their divinity, forever trapped at their feet.
