Special event of V edition of Gala of Cinema and of Fiction in Campania region, " Look doesn't lie " it's a photographic project of Riccardo Ghilardi, on display from 8th to 20th october to the Museum of PAN, Palace of Arts of Naples. Riccardo Ghilardi has submitted to his "truth machine" a large numbers of actors, movie directors, producers and soundtrack composers, phographers and dubbers. Accademy Awards and budding youngers: Riccardo Ghilardi immortalizes the look of his characters; it's a work of three years where the exposition at PAN represents the personal selection of the author for neapolitan pubblic.

The actor it's ready on set. Lights! ... and lights come into the scene. Camera! ... and everything it's ready in front and behind the lens. Action! ...and... nothing! Nobody plays. Fiction it triggered off. There's no playscript to follow or a character to interpreter. No antagonist, appearance, no stage whisper. No director, no scriptwriter. No pubblic. In front of the actor there's only a photographer that wants the eyes in camera, ask for a point blank and catches the answer in a two beatings blink, while mind it's still coming to a hypothesis but eyes have already told the truth.

How may truths or lies..emotions, sensations, feelings and fears we wouldn't have reveal. How may times, in silence, we have laughed or cried, hated or loved, owned, enjoyed, seduced, exulted, suffered or being afraid of. How may times our eyes have helped or betraied us. How many times they could communicate when words were not enough. Between thousands of nuances of colours and wrinkles of expression that surrounded them, rests the instinct. Joy, pain, astonishment and pleasure, hate, respect, convinction, fear, tenacity, proud, nastiness, life, freedom, death, envy, friendship, love, terror and every thing is part of our hearts. Our eyes answered to questions first. Just for a while. Then mind starts to work. Elaborates, manages, reorganizes or amplyfies, represses or fires, changes, colors, alleviates and contains, exaggerats or recomposes. Purity of every single emotion. Only in that moment our instinct it's on our side...And the time of reaction it's always the same, "A onehundredtwentyfifth of second",the time of a "shot".
