Guarda le luci, amore mio is based on the book of the same name by French writer Annie Ernaux, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2022. Ernaux, one of the most authoritative voices of contemporary culture, chose in 2012 to bring to light a space ignored by literature, yet a formidable mirror of social reality: the hypermarket. The result was a diary in which he recorded his visits to “his” Auchan for a year, noting the contradictions and rituals, but also the unsuspected tenderness, of that temple of consumption. From this ‘free review of observations’ conducted between one aisle and another - with a shopping list in hand - in contact with the glittering mountains of goods of the large-scale retail trade, a narrative reflection comes to life, capable of showing us one of the secret theatres of our collective living from an unprecedented angle.
