Between the railroad tracks, by steps, to the rhythm of a regular pulsation, on a base of different colors, appears the image of a body, lying still. This installation refers to a visual phenomenon of the events during Genoa: the vision of the body of the young Carlo Giuliani, murdered by a police officer. «The horizontal image of this body lying on the pavement has fixed itself in my head for days. With other elements, the odor of tear gas, the fires, the city shaken out of its torpor on the day of the death, it has remained etched, palpitating and inexhaustible. I could no longer separate myself from this vision: it was like a constant pulsation in my head.» Note in the agenda before the events of Genoa: «The odor of the chosen victim is already in the air.» «At that moment, the events looked for a victim, perhaps to set off an alarm, or perhaps, through shock, to provoke a pause for reflection. But this time for pause never took place, because immediately, Giuliani found a precise place in these events. His death, independent from his personality, received a direct meaning, and the emotions became venomous. The collision between life and death provoked emotional chaos: rage and hate found themselves closely tied with love and a desperate affection.» * *) Quotes from Pino Scuro |
