living dead(ly)
your beloved here laid to rest, ad memoriam / add a comment / the energy and tension between a real increasingly inconsistent “life” and a virtual increasingly frustrating “non-life” / let us look at the world of shadows looking at us / the cult of the dead is on the other side of the tombstone

or the loss of (not only) culturalspatialtemporal coordinates. “and sweet to us is to be shipwrecked in this sea” / message from the hereafter, from a horizontal next world in a frustrating search of a third dimension / however deep you dig, there is nothing below / depth looks like a problem for gravediggers / 2b or not 2b: the medium is the message
that’s the question… / 2012 / carrara marble, bronze / 80x74x3 cm

art is self-referential. art refers to itself till you put “black over white”, virtual over actual, gesture over marble to put an end to new re-thinking. or give it a new beginning. verba volant, scripta manent. … / starting from a negation, a metropolitan cry, a predigested provocation that homologates the graffito to the epigraph / and decorates (expropriates) the feigned permanences with a jet of spray
