I MIEI MITI / MYTHS OF MINE

I represent, making them also selfportraits, mythological heroes and their narratives but removed from tragic end we know and that makes them admonishment for us. They derail from classical and exemplary fate for a new conclusion and being symbols for other, first of all of a my personal existential mythology. They're news, they're mine. A detail change the usual plot to lead toward a different and happy outcome, at least not a lethal one. Orpheus "plays" a strange object and doesn't turn behind his head, Narcissus deflects his contempation from his reflected face, Achilles stares the diverted arrow that saved him and Ulysses doesn't watch the sea. They're heroes who try again.
