This new series of paste ups continues the experiment of merging the ruined walls of historical centers with the subjects represented. The selected wall is first photographed, then placed in overlay on the subject and subsequently printed and glued on the wall in order to obtain a perfect match between the two surfaces. The declared intent is to make the historical characters shine through the wall, as if they continued to be present, to remind us of the importance of their reflection on the human soul.
“If you don’t know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything, and you have no way of checking up on it.” – Howard Zinn.
