Formami – explains Astolfi – is a virtual black box found after an accident: in this case it is not an accident, it is a loss, a great confusion.​ It is that moment where you get lost and, if you ask for directions, you realize that no one can advise you. You end up talking to yourself. You end up talking to yourselfIf we truly had a black box in all of our life accidents, we could understand why they happened … we would begin to form other bodies, another mind, another sensitivity.

Unknown Woman is a serious and imaginary story at the same time, it is a collector of memories and thoughts of what happened with an important artist, Maria, in 20 years of collaboration and sharing.She and I used to tell us some secret things through movements, healthy bearers of truth. Even today we give and steal things from each other, but we know each other well and for this reason we still walk together.
