“Muri urlanti” Materiali Resistenti VII edition
“If life has given us nothing but a prison cell, let’s make sure to decorate it, at least, with the shadows of our dreams, multicolored designs that carve our oblivion on the immobile exterior of the walls.”
I wanted to participate with two very intimate works, bordering on conceptual photography. Both use the walls, still adorned with fascist propaganda, to create an evident contrast: it is not true that the peoples who have abandoned peasant life have been doomed to decay; but it is not even true, unfortunately, that today all Italians have access to a job that can guarantee them peace of mind.
In these two shots there are also my anxieties, my inner walls, linked to the very particular period I was going through: the desire to leave behind my white-collar life, now a shadow at sunset of this period of my life, contrasted to the fear of abandoning a humbler, simpler job that had made me rediscover a great serenity.
Inauguration of the exhibition of the seventh edition of "Resistant Materials" in the exhibition area of the Palazzo della Regione Piemonte, biennial organized by the Total Art and Terzo Occhio Photography associations.
