Lascia aperta la porta, exempel-lyric video

Stil och material

If you come back, leave the door open: your place at the table is still set and the warm bread is uncut. “Lascia aperta la porta” is a tender Italian song of patient waiting. A train station at night. The words turn on a split-flap arrivals board as they are sung, letter by letter, then on an LED sign over a ticket window and on a printed ticket, while a door at the end of the hall opens onto warm light and the singer appears in the scenes as a still figure. The board, the ticket and the door all come from the words, “leave the door open” and waiting for a return, and the singer is taken from the artist’s own photo.
