Vita e Morte

Vita e Morte

I try to describe this work, but it will not be easy as it has its roots in a very unique feeling that I experienced in connection with the death of people dear. These were old, on that occasion I had the feeling that they were child. It was not an hallucination, but it was a feeling that I felt towards them. The dominant feeling was up of tenderness. Death takes away not only an old, but a lifetime rich of experiences, a person that one day he was a child, the joy of own parents, a child with a future and thousand projects. What dies is not just a poor old man, but all these.
A further interpretation of this work I made, following further reflections on the death of these two dear people: I do not have children, and in truth in these years I have not felt the need except at time of these deaths. On this occasion, for the first time I would have liked to have a child. This link between life and death I think is in the Darwin's theory of evolution. Death only makes sense if it is functional to the continuation of the species. I believe that this link between life and death is very strong, it is biological link.
The photos were arranged in two rows for ease of layout. The work is to be exposed on the wall on one line
