In this series of artworks I investigate the meaning of life and death, the separation, the relationship between perception of time and death.
TIMEOUT I
With this artwork I investigate the relationship between time and death. When we are children time has little meaning. The passage between the ages 10-20 is an infinitive process, full of meaning, new sensations and personal experiences. It is the transition between being a child to becoming an adult with different prospectives and expectations. Subjectively this period seemed interminable. At this age of life you don't have the awareness of death. At the most you think that death affects others and not you. As time passes the years pass quicker and the period between 50-60 time passes very quickly, and the ages between 60-70 time is even shorter. An old person who looks back in time says that he doesn't feel his age and that his life had passed rapidly. I think life is a race towards death. It is as if you drop a glass ball from a height, the marble accelerates its movement downwards until it touches the ground and disintegrates into thousands of pieces. This is TIMEOUT.
The sceam adn silence.
These are the scream and the silence of death.
Separation
I recently reviewed some family photos. I noticed that my older sister, when we were kids, held me always by the hand, to guide me. Recently my sister is dead.
TIMEOUT II
It is the reworking of a previous work which incorporates all of the content, it just changes the graphic look.
Life and death
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
