Inside Novembre Issue 18: Moving Behind by Diego Marcon

Get into a strange, exposed architecture of emotion through Diego Marcon's works. Here, the mechanics sit bare: props, fragments of bodies and rooms that, onscreen, feel uncannily alive. They become something else: colder, sharper, almost absurd. The illusion isn’t broken so much as unsettled, complicated.

What emerges is a tension between fabrication and belief: how easily we accept the artificial, how quickly we feel. Maybe a quiet reminder that emotion, too, is constructed, and that our trust in images is never entirely innocent.
