Paratissima 2018 (Feeling Different)
Caserma La Marmora, October 30-November 4
Amida continues the video series entitled “Memories of Fire”. In the Japanese tradition Amida is a compassionate Buddha, bearer of light and happiness, who leads us beyond the ocean of sorrows, pains of life and attachment to it. Inspired by the drama of migrants, a ship approaches a boat, almost stops and then continues the sea lane. Our gaze constantly tries to focus on the scene, and bring it to the level of consciousness. At regular intervals a bell recalls the present moment. A light flame is the background of the whole frame. At the end of the scene the image is set on fire, consumes this fragment of reality full of dreams, suffering and humanity. There is no judgment. (2018) 2′ 12″
Near the video, one of the 5 elements of the artwork “Spiegare il mare”, a large sheet (200 x 135 cm) in transparent polyethylene painted. An organic trace seems left on the surface, memory of a real contact with the sea, origin of life. Reason can not explain what we know only through direct experience. Intuition became language.

This exhibition presents a floor installation inspired by the shape of a playful and tidy Quantum Microchip, mirror of our increasingly fluid, immaterial, virtual reality. Visitors are invited to go over the drawing, step on this shared, participated space to give it meaning.
A suspended dimension that inevitably redefines the same human nature: Genome (17×2) reminds us of this with the typical helical structure of DNA, the same strong>Cosimo’s Ladder, where genome extended from floor to ceiling. Cosimo, the main character of the “Barone Rampante”, when he was still a boy decides to climb trees and no longer set foot on the ground, forever. This rummy choice of separation from society allows him, in fact, it allows a profound point of view on everything and a chance of action otherwise impossible.
Complete the exibition Fourteen Happiness Garden paintings where flows of vital energy in progress became shapes, flowers, emotions, different people. Four faces Hybrid.gen with an artificial, synthetic appearance have the same features differentiated by specific physiognomic characters.
There are also three Tea Rupa Boxes, made by real tea, chamomile, infusions boxes which allude to the intimate dimension of existence.
