Pappagallo Lallo

2021

video, 4'18''

Pappagallo Lallo is a video documenting a creative experience from a workshop where children transformed discarded materials into imaginary worlds. The title comes from a melody improvised by a girl during the activity, a spontaneous gesture that gave the project a light, playful, and vibrant atmosphere.
The workshop took place in a room filled with various materials: wood, fabric, cardboard, toilet paper tubes, and other everyday items. The goal was simple: to provide a space without rules where each child could freely explore their imagination.
In this environment of total freedom, even the most ordinary materials took on new identities: a piece of wood became a boat sailing on imaginary seas, a cardboard tube turned into a telescope to explore distant horizons, or a musical instrument that created magical sounds.
What made the experience even more special was that the children had the opportunity to use a camera. They not only created but also filmed themselves, capturing their creative process. 
Pappagallo Lallo captures the magic of this experience: every scene is a glimpse into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary through imagination. It shows how children naturally create stories and reveal their unique way of seeing the world.
