I made this action for the exhibition Cuatro Pasos – Naples, which shows a poetic / sculptural struggle between my body and a bed sheet, a constant element in the urban landscape of the popular neighborhoods of the city. In a symbolic way the work takes on a political connotation as it was executed on April 25, the Liberation Day in Italy, and it also recalls the attitude of resistance of the Neapolitan people towards the fascist regime during the Second World War. However, it’s reading is not limited to a specific audience (Italian), since freedom is a universal value.
As we can see, the body does not end up freeing itself from this veil; therefore and metaphorically, the action suggests the constant exercise of trying to shape a concept that is also in constant transformation.
