Before the camera settles, the place sets the tempo. In Gussago, Villa Togni’s gardens shift from French geometry to the softer sweep of an English park, then into an orchard and an olive grove—a four-hectare score written in green. Here, Camillo Togni (1922–1993) lived and worked, one of Italy’s most respected 20th-century composers, whose music has been performed at venues such as Teatro alla Scala, Teatro La Fenice, the Rome Opera House, and the Venice Biennale.

Alexis Jean enters this landscape as a figure in motion: fashion turned into interpretation. A body tracing history, illusion, and silence—without ever raising its voice.
