The book represents a traffic jam of the mind, made of thoughts instead of cars.
When you’re stuck in traffic, you don’t know what to do. You have a lot of time: you can’t go anywhere, but your mind can.
Using my friends as characters, I analyze the chaotic nature of human relationships, and their vulnerability to time, in order to build a narrative where every emotion on the spectrum is represented.
Using my life as a journey, I take a moment to realize where I am, and where I am going. I don’t like how things change.
This book was inspired by the 1979 movie “L’Ingorgo” by Luigi Comencini.
All photographs, drawings and texts by Sergio Pontillo.
