The Dolomites are enchanted.

The Dolomites are a rose garden.

​

"Enrosadira" is a natural phenomenon for which, at sunrise and sunset, the peaks of the Catinaccio mountain range (South Tyrol) glow pink. There is a legend about it, that of the spell cast by Laurino, the king of the dwarves: his mountain was a beautiful rose garden, but no one would be able to see it again except at dawn or dusk. 

​

On the other hand, the rational explanation of it all lies in the particular conformation of the dolomitic rock; this is how myth and science meet in the middle of the Alps.

​

In this project, the camera becomes an instrument capable of revealing the magical/scientific secret of the Catinaccio, breaking Lurino's curse thanks to a special film roll that colors the mountains in pink directly during the shooting phase.
