Reborn, again and again. Basically after you see the lights again. After the darkness or something like that. The popular market is chosen because of the movement and the infinite colors of everything (people, food, things, etc). That stressed situation makes tense the moment where actions must be as fast as the movement itself is in a way. A person appears, completely calm to be petrified for a while in a space over the popular location. She just appears and wait for something else. Waiting, appears the second person who decided to cover her with fabric as a mummy, transforming her into a statue mummified. An object. This statue mummified stays there for a while making the contrast with everything. The person appears again to throw in her yellow paint, generating a reaction between the market environment and the city of Torino. Waiting the sculpture, the man appears for the last time to cut the fabric and take it with him, making appear the person again as was in the beginning. The person in the same place, she leaves the place. Everything now is happening normally again. The reborn passed. And the yellow sun is shining in the sky.
