Synopsis
I THINK TO THE APPEAL OF THE GREEK SCULPTURES, TO THEIRS INCOMPLETENESS DUE TO THE TIME AND ACCIDENT'S EROSION.
I THINK TO THE UNNUMBERED HUMAN VISAGE MODELINGS OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND PHYSIOGNOMY DURING THE END OF THE 19th CENTURY THAT MOVED THE ARTISTS TO SEARCH FOR NEW CANONS AS THE TYPICAL POSTURE OF THE HISTERYA MAJOR.
I THINK TO RODIN AND DUCHAMP.
I WOULD LIKE TO PROMPT TO THE DESIRE'S VIEW OF THE CAESURA NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE BODY BUT AS WELL TO THE ORGANIC.


"Is the body our property? Or is it foreign?

To go in the world means to push our body

in front of us, as an ox at the market.

It doesn't always reacts as we would like to.

Nevertheless we hope that it obey,

that it would not collapse under the weight of our inner self"
