Trentatré ovvero tre rampe da undici gradini

This works is born from a reflection of the artist after reading “Corpi mutanti” by Tiziana Villani that is also involved in the sound design part of the work, and “La società senza dolore” by Byung Chul Han. In the past grief and pain were used as a symbol of power by rulers, then, with they became silent and invisible with the pantopticon by Bentham, and now, in the postmodern era, grief became useless since it’s something that obstacles production. But grief is the common ground of us as human beings, and this is the reason why the artist is creating a partecipatory archive of grief where people, by answering to some questions about this theme, becomes active partecipants of the work. The questions are public but the answers are private and they are secured in a locked archive that is exhibited in the final installation.The artist then realizes a terracotta mask for every person who answered that deals with the answers she received from each person and in the background people can listen to the voice of Tiziana Villani that reads the narrative parts of her book where she speaks as she was a dog.
The restlessness that comes out from the vision of this wall of unknown identities that struggle everyday with grief stimutales a reflection about how much space we give to our inner feelings of sadness and fear in the era of psychotropic drugs and of the “everything- positive”.
