BACKSTAGE_EPISODES

backstage. episodes is a picture of the musician / poet’s struggle with the creative process. Short episodes happening off the stage in confinement, seclusion, away from the glare of the stage lights. Seemingly trivial, insignificant events that the artist has to face trying to realize his creative intentions. It is an attempt to construct a portrait / sketch of the psychological unit using the form of the 80s alternative music icon – Ian Curtis from the Joy Division.
