Exhibitions, Italy, Piacenza, 29 August 2015
( Written text for the exibition at Jelmoni Studio Gallery in Piacenza )
The exibition is divided on two narrative levels : one personal and one collective, united to each other. The collective history of man is represented in a series of large paintings that highlight some historical moments ( chosen among many ) of particular relevance : the explosion of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ( Pandora ), the moon landing ( Space invaders ), the concentration camp of Auschwitz ( Nadir ), the unknown man who stopped the tanks in Tiananmen Square ( the tank man ), the fall of the Berlin wall ( a wall less ) and some portraits of significant historical figures like Ghandi and Albert Einstein.
The list described is obviously an approximation, could be much longer, but enough to make the idea of a collective history.
The personal history is represented by a series of small paintings wich highlight what happens in each woman, from beginning of conception, following the various phases of cell division, until the birth.
That is our story, the story of each of us , no matter wich race he belongs and in spite of differences of nationality, social, cultural and religious : we are all born in the same way.
Something deep unites all humans despite the many differences described above >: personal history and collective history merge.
It could be a good starting point, especially today, to share and write new chapters as well, possibly better, in our history.
