Perhaps the greatest and most successful sports racing cars of all time were made by Alfa Romeo, particularly if one takes history back to the 1920s:

1925 Alfa Romeo RLSS:
These cars became popular luxury sporting models for individuals like Benito Mussolini who indicated that his car had a “magnificent engine” and the Aga Kahn said of his RLSS “a most interesting and enjoyable journey in one of the most excellent cars I have ever ridden in.”

1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Mille Miglia Spyder:
Consistent winner in the grueling Mille Miglia, both in the hands of privateers and the great Scuderia Ferrari drivers, these cars simply could not be beaten.

1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900A
Clearly, the most advanced sports car of the last half of the 1930s with double overhead cams and valves, two superchargers, a transaxle, independent four-wheel suspension adjustable from the seat, and a magnificent styling. Automotive experts believe that these cars could not be beaten on the track or on the road.

2015 Alfa Romeo 4C
Could Alfa Romeo bring back its glorious days?

"the Silent Camera" was conceived in 2009 and was inspired by the music of Arvo Part especially his piece "Silentium". I perceive the modern world as oscillating between two extremes that are analogous to two of Arvo Part's pieces: "Perpetuum Mobile" represents the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the sea of people surrounding you, the noise in the streets, the deadlines, the challenges and the lessons to learn, the new technologies and risks facing our civilization, the musical pieces you learn [or fail to master],.. etc. "Silentium" represents the resolution of every musical note, every spoken word and every movement of your day. It is the moment that you are most likely to remember after the day's noise has settled and its turbulence has subsided. It is the moment that we all crave and the moment that will allow us to persist to the next day when the Perpetuum Mobile cycle starts again.
