Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic film Family Plot, Brambilla’s Desire reimagines the famous crystal ball sequence, embracing Hitchcock’s voyeuristic film language as a portal into the realm of dreams and the supernatural. However, in Desire, crystal balls multiply in a 360-degree space, forming a multi-dimensional constellation, each one displaying characters from different genres and eras of Hollywood films, while a growing chorus of “I love you” fills the space.

Through its infinite variations, the piece constructs a visual narrative that shifts between fragmented recollections and vivid imagery, mirroring the mind’s process of memory. Addressing a sense of intimacy, this kinetic video engages with principles of cognitive psychology, drawing us deeper into the subconscious. Through its dynamic composition, Desire examines how our collective and personal memories are shaped, intertwining fiction with reality.
