Twenty | Digital productions ARTE
Show video The image presents four close-up portraits of young adults, each absorbed in thought, with expressions full of intensity. On the far left, a woman with slightly tousled hair falling over her face looks intently at something off-frame, her gaze serious and focused. Beside her, a young woman with light brown hair gazes straight ahead with a calm, contemplative expression, framed by shelves of books in the background. The third portrait features a young man in a black hoodie, a faint smile playing on his lips in a dimly lit setting. Finally, to the right, a young woman wearing a blue cap looks into the distance, her gaze steady and resolute. Show image The image captures a performer on an outdoor stage, dressed in a striking ensemble. She wears a vivid red leotard topped with a sleek, metallic corset that wraps around her torso and tapers downwards in a futuristic style. Her long, straight black hair frames her face as she holds a microphone in one hand, standing with poise and a powerful, intense gaze directed at the audience. She performs on an open stage outside. Show image The image shows a young man at the wheel of an old, rusty-orange tractor, fully focused on his task. Dressed in a khaki t-shirt and shorts, he has short hair and a relaxed expression. The tractor is nestled amidst lush greenery, surrounded by tall grass and wild plants. Show image The image captures two men in the middle of an arm-wrestling match at a lively gathering. They’re smiling and focused, with a crowd around them watching in good spirits. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and colourful decorations in the background hint at a family celebration or a gathering of friends. Show image The image shows a man and woman sitting on the ground near a farmhouse entrance, tending to a potted plant together. They’re focused on their work, sharing a relaxed, peaceful moment. The outdoor setting gives off a rustic, farmhouse vibe. Show image The image shows a person with vivid orange hair wearing a high-visibility safety vest, their expression intense and focused. They’re looking off into the distance, with a blurred urban background behind them. The scene suggests they’re part of a blockade at a protest. Show image The image shows a group of people standing close together, smiling in front of a modern building. At the centre, someone with bright orange hair wears a t-shirt that reads “We have 858 days left” in English, alongside a message supporting the “final renovation.” The mood is one of solidarity and commitment, suggesting a united group rallying around a shared cause, likely tied to a protest or awareness campaign. Show image The image shows a young woman wearing glasses, her expression focused and serious, as if paying close attention. She’s surrounded by others in the background, similarly engaged in their activity, in an environment that suggests a meeting or workshop setting.

Twenty is a turning point. It’s a time when, even if we’re not entirely sure “who we are,” we must still decide “who we want to be,” and the place we’ll take in society. It’s a time full of contradictions, yet it’s when we’re pushed to leave childhood behind.
