We are
Free!
The installation should be erected on the wall inside the
cafe located on the Piazza Canonica. The installation will be arranged
to the left of the room entrance, near a window.
From a far the viewer can see the inscription on the wall "We are
Free! (Noi siamo libere!)" written in a black outline. But approaching
closer, he suddenly discovers that this inscription is formed from a multitude
of flies sitting on the wall (the flies, of course, are artificial, made
of plastic). And immediately a tragic-comic metaphor arises in the consciousness
of the viewer: flies, as everyone knows, usually fly in various directions
in complete freedom and chaos, but here they are arranged in a distinct,
compulsory order only so as to proclaim loudly and clear that "they
are free!" This metaphor does not require commentary.
