Install "O Tuppo. A world in the hair "and 8 two-dimensional works of 20x20 cm" Contamination "set up on the wall (W. 160 cm height 20 cm).

The installation "O Tuppo. A world in the hair "stages a Tuppo, built with natural materials, willow branches, made in the same way as a Tuppo, with her hair type bun.
The Tuppo vegetalizza a female hair, and the plant assimilated to the hair down the sense of hair from nature to culture.

"You can hear the sea then you hear. In Tuppo woman Concetta no place for promises, asking for votes from .......
In Tuppo woman Concetta there is a gust of wind that comes from Salvador de Bahia, passing through Marseilles, after pausing to Sri Lanka .... Speaks the Indian Tuppo woman Concetta, speaks Pakistani, Filipino speaks speaks Neapolitan yet, as it were soiled, as was spotted ... .. How many saints are there in Tuppo woman Concetta and how many devils to his body hungry. You can hear the sea and yet you do not hear. "
(InferNapoli - Peppe Lanzetta)

In the hair hides the culture of a people, its religious vision, superstitions but also reflections, stories, narratives.
Connecting link between heaven and earth, they are a religious artifact, magic and art, a sacred ritual that repeats always the same in shape and always different in its effects, expression of transience, loss and separation.
In symbolic thought are connected to the grass, the hair of the earth, and then the vegetation.
The cult of relics of saints - especially of a strand of hair - expresses not only an act of worship, but also a desire to participate in their virtues.
Even the habit - with a much deeper meaning than simply perpetuates
implementation of a memory - to keep the curls of children and their baby teeth re-
Sailing the will to survive that time of life of the individual.
The plot, the weaving of the Universe, is co-superseded by the hair of Shiva, who identify with the directions of space.
The hair arranged around the head are also an image of the sun rays and express, in general, a bond with Heaven: in China, a haircut or - which is the same - to cut down trees of a mountain, did stop the rain .

The Tuppo contains everything said, the sea, culture, nature of Naples but also lives the blood and the moral degradation that invests some sections of the population.

The works on the wall "Contamination" investigating hair:
stratifications and contamination, spaces and shifted transient, constant fluctuation between inside and out in an intimate collected, concentrated, thought of as mixing, hybridization, in a back and forth of the senses every time oriented and disoriented.
