Play Off

Location: Marrakech (MA), Ouarzazate (MA), Brighton (UK), Shoreham (UK).

Modern football's enters its roots into the Earth since 1863... from then on just a little has changed in the periphery. The lines, the border areas have never been important in the matches among friends. Even without a football goal, a noise was enough to excite us and crying out loud "Goal". Through the years, football has become something "serious", which can be frightening and often it becomes a reason to chronicle or a place of terror... "regardless of the color of earth." Play Off is the point of view from the penalty spot of opposite peripheries, cultures, religions but belonging to the same heart.
Note: The 15th edition of the European Football Championship took place in France in June 2016 in an atmosphere of great concern due to the high risk of terrorist attacks confirmed by the security services of many countries. This scenario is the result of some events that occurred just in France in November 2015, where some terrorists blew themselves up after trying to enter the "Stade de France" during the friendly match France-Germany.
In March 2016, in Iraq, "on the opposite side", in a stadium in Iskanderiyah, 50km from Baghdad, a suicide bombing claimed by ISIS coused about 50 deaths and hundreds injured, a massacre of young victims … none of them was a professional football player, nor a soldier.
The project "Play Off" is linked together with the idea that terror does not make distinction of religion or geopolitical coordinates and, crossing football goals on the outskirts, it combines two cultures that for some people are at war.
