Scripta Manent

This work was showed at "Gemine : Muse" event. The exhibitions was in the "Palace of the Archiginnasio" a historic home of the University of Bologna and currently houses of the Municipal Library.
I decided to focus my work on the knowledge's process.
I considered the knowledge as something that can be breathed in certain places, made up by layers and time and that can be expressed in every single book, through its pages and its words.
With a red thread I sewed plenty of pages from several books to remind the knowledge's process.
"Verba volant scripta manent", spoken words fly away, written words remain.

Omero

I realized a cover book "Omero ed altri uomini illustri" by Vincenzo Estremo, Pendragon edition.

Open doors

The door is a symbol of border, of passage from a dimension to another one, from inside to outside.It can be open or closed.From the door to the house, an intimate space of identification, from house to city, extensive space of passage or stay where peoples, races and religions live together.Sometimes it's more difficult to open own doors.
In this work I wanted to represent the individual and his will to open. Houses, like individuals, are many and different from each other. All doors are open to signify the choice of every individual, they rapesent the human will to open to exchange.
For this reason the title of my work is "the open doors", it's my strong opinion that doors and borders can became place of exchange not of division.
