In one of his talks a few years ago, Umberto Galimberti pointed out how the tradition we come from has built science, religion and psychology on the relationship between body and soul, whereas it would be more interesting to think in terms of the relationship between body and world.
Our body, in fact, inhabits the world and is in continuous relationship with it: it reacts to the stimuli that come from it and - like a writing surface - retains traces of the interaction, indelible scars, signs that make it a living memory. But it is also a limit, an embankment, a container; inner and outer space of which the skin constitutes the definitive boundary between one and the other. What if we all took off our skin? What would remain? - wonders the artist. We could observe what goes into it, how it penetrates to the depths of the bowels, how it is transformed, how it nourishes the complex machine and its functioning. In Marinoni's work, the body is the starting point for any reflection: emptiness, wounds, healing, memory and, finally, the very meaning of existence.
