Francesco Lauretta - Altri Cieli

Lauretta urges the participants to lie on a pristine bed and "play dead". The artist portrays them, searching for traces of rites of passage. Some drawings depicting the Apocalypse tell us about the thresholds leading to other spaces.
Nearby will be presented “L’Idiota”: an actor reads the pages from the homonymous novel, tearing and crumpling them out, throwing them into the space.
Sacredness and ritual are fundamental in the artist’s research, to him every exhibition is an opportunity for enlightenment and sharing, whether it is an idiotic paradise or a meditatio mortis, Art helps us live, as long as we are not afraid of it.
Both actions are part of "Altri Cieli" presented by SCONFINA, born from the dialogue between Rossana Ciocca and Helga Franza, supported by Fondazione Arthur Cravan.
