My Painted curtains
A month ago I did not realise I would move to Hong Kong
a month ago I did not realise I would be able to live Day by day with Noguchi’s pieces
when everything became real
I decided to stage the environment with my diary
the diary when I first encountered Noguchi
the moment when I was no longer afraid to juxtapose the innate elements of East and West lived within
so I got all my 35 years of research randomly printed on the curtains
allowing the freeform sofa of Noguchi to continue inspire all those who come to this tiny space
in the bedroom I adorned the windows with a view of two types of Madonnas
one is the sketches I did at the Uffizi in 2013
another is random sketches of Cantonese operas I watched on Youtube
when I was in a nostalgic mood
back home in Italy
where only memories of my childhood could be made alive
through constant resketching of scenes from Hong Kong films
Including those scenes I often missed
but were impactful images
from my parents ‘ points of view
These Madonnas , either East and West
are all sacred to me
as if
they are the answers to my research on the ancient Chinese ideograms;
just how sacred the act of the Madonna is, when she receives a Divine Mission from Heaven as exemplified by The explanation of the ideograms Last Name by Xu Shen Of AD 100: the son of heaven is the one that is conceived by a Lady who receives a Heavenly Mandate- such is the beginning of the idea of a Surname
my re-interpretation of 2018 ( after some 2018-100 years) is
all beings are divine and all of us are of the same substance
May peace be with you
