I was born in Naples I lived a bit in
tour lived in paris in london in riad e
son in Rome
I now live in Naples lives and work in Naples
divides my professional time between the
artistic production
I paint with graffiti oils but also
with perhaps even above all with light
painting on large surfaces on
buildings and the other part of their own
professional instead I teach
at the university Sister orsola benincasa of
naples rhetoric and digital storytelling
the title of this talk is called
lighting flowers that is an installation
I’m working on now but it’s also a
my way of living life to live the
street of living the city
architectures to imagine beyond the
visible to me it happens to do this
we say often we say sometimes
a little worried my partner
look at the buildings the pylons streets
of the highway the sea and the cliff
and imagine signs of imagining
that there may be signs that
of columns and women can
become red that can be opened
of the colors of the lines we say or this
intervention then I will tell you a bit
this look of mine is this production
of the way I tell life
I tell what I see are three
productions that correspond to three
important moments of my life
the migrants naples the suburbs
the first installation is called my
big sirens and an installation on the
women migrant women who come from
from Latin America from Eastern Europe
from Africa courageous free women
beautiful strong with a great desire to
founding communities and to these women
these areas are portrayed in
an installation in the portrait some
thousand and then painted it then there
I first see the installation and
then I will tell you the profound meaning
of the installation is the way I have
worked
[Music]
here these you have seen these some of
these women of an installation that then
has been produced and projected to
pietralcina in Italy and that now turns
for Europe and they are women for me
I chose to read them this way
they are extremely brave women
that made a life choice
deeply difficult and the week
last
interviewed one and I did a
portrait and it is a work that we are
doing up on emotions and I have them
We asked who knows how long it is
mass comes from nigeria
she told me six months she said like
I did six months of nigeria
find it a month to get to Libya e
this has not been stuck in one
detention center for five months
So I asked her what’s for you
happiness
let me see a gesture of happiness and le
he did this for us means
everything is there for me means that
these women are have a force
very strong interior have perhaps the
why we are here we are not talking about
passion have passion and that passion
year to the passion of those who want
I found a new community
call and sirens of big because they are
like the Partenope siren
the first great migrant in history
of the Parthenope literature flees from the da
East arrives in a place that is Naples
and founded this city is a founder
migrants migrants and the singing of an Europe
plural wants to be the song of
a plural Europe free open woman
how communities live the territories
how the territories of the communities grow
chris cone when they mix when yes
they mix when the narratives
internal ones meet with the narrations
external
they build new narratives here
migrants migrants want to contribute to
build new narratives another
new narrative of which I want to talk to you
instead axen scout and barefoot
an installation I created on the
Naples and even here I started from
sirena napoli a city that offers many
cues a baroque city with many
mother museum items asked me to
build an installation in the courtyard
of honor of the museum and this work is then
has been acquired by the museum and has become
a work that is in the collection
I’ll talk about it permanently after order there
I’ll see a short piece unite
a minute where we say you’ll understand the
meaning that I will then explain to you later
circularity of the city of
circularity of the elements of the city
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
then the circularity of Naples has you
seen in this installation there are
many elements many icons symbols myths
of the city the long Partenope siren of
virgilio the capuzzelle ie the heads of
death that napolitano is called one
wheelchair san gennaro the horse
I still wanted to tell the story
cyclicity of the city that means
cyclicity that Naples is a city
Well born with the siren Partenope not
born with born with the siren Partenope
that a symbol for half that a symbol
a sea monster for half a woman and for
half fish the fish in Naples is a
phallic symbol and the male sex
so let ‘s say the origin of the city e
half woman and half male
the part above and female the part of
below is the male part above the
only the part below and the darkness at
above are the churches where you are
he adores a Catholic god and the part of
below are the catacombs the caves of
tuff from which the dive was dug for
build apart above and in that
we left the skulls there
of the seventeenth century and we have them
worshiped by the pagans is the city and this is
this eternal cyclicity of life death
pagan feminine Catholic female that
continually chasing each other and the sense of
this installation and this we say ed
barefoot a baroque opera a work that
works on the triumph of the death of the
life of the senses that one thing typically
and strongly Neapolitan is that I bring
inside of me and I have to say that we say
allowed to be important because it
built together with two musicians
extraordinary that are carola pisaturo ed
enzo avitabile that of course with the
their soundtrack contributed to
make it a little stronger yet
the emotion of these signs are signs
that I paint by hand
maybe you saw a certain in the video
I see you drawing oil and
graphite and at other times instead sees
of digital drawings or a notebook this
I write my logbook
we are a group we are about ten
people who work with me is and how
I work by hand
I spent a year doing this
the action then in a year I designed
many things I also took notes to
sometimes even notes while he was in
car or while at the cinema
so if nothing else, a sheet of paper
so this of aquino is also full of
of objects glued on top of pieces of
wounded terms of a gift card
things that I then drew in oil and in
graphite of notes one must make 100
capuzzelle 60 virgil eggs 80
horses there are lists and slowly
also errors and errors that you
they lead ahead of another road and it is
a complex job and a job
complex also keep a team together
that probably does not know where we are
going and worries and must understand that
must follow me and of course to do
this needs a lot of passion for
very pathos but we also need to
very logos of a lot of rational part e
so much work these projects
they do with a huge inner force that
the passion is however inside a framework
that a project and the project, however, yes
makes you undo it gets redoed again and again
so if there is no passion there is
tired the last installation of which
I want to talk to you and lighting flowers is a
I work on the outskirts I have chosen to
paint to illuminate to give light
to places that are in the shade that are the
suburbs of Naples of Rome of Milan
paris and rio de janeiro shanghai and tokyo
and I started now you will see it on with
two cities that are Naples and Rome
we can see the video then I’ll tell you
as
how it’s done
[Music]
to do this job
let’s go at night, let’s say
I’m interested in two assistants
we have in the car or say we find
some places we stop and it’s him that
we chose us before I stop a
genset then there is a tripod
with the projector and then there are two
computer and then the assistants have a
drone a steady cam and two cameras
fixed to document everything and are
work at night are jobs that are done
without permits so let’s say a bit
risky because of course at 3 o’clock
Morning in the suburbs is a little more
risky but I will tell you an anecdote
which for me is the key to everything perhaps
also the key to why I make certain
things because I like what I do
it was half past three o’clock
morning we were at gianturco suburbs
eastern of Naples
we were illuminating the bridge of the
circumvesuviana a certain point one
car stops and there was a man one
a woman and a girl with grown-ups
goggles and that will remain throughout the
time in silence the lady lowers the
window and told me you’re doing one
photo say lady of red
resuming I’m doing the shooting at
juliis goodies how are you doing one
photograph of I will know you really look
I’m doing the filming in the evening opens the
door and threw himself on me
Easter stops her and says sir sir
to establish an artist, look, we are
doing
an act installation demonstrates the thing
she turns and says genna scilla rama a
gina comes out of the car a gennaro
human gigantic head with loculus a
single block of cement
of course we were all a lot
worried
gennaro says that he is sewing 8 and concetta
vice and art
Gennaro approaches me and puts his hand
in the jacket of June 5 I thought it is
over, this will clearly leave me for
earth hunts a cell phone apple tree that says
photographic face embraces
concetta and I of course with one hand
trembling
I take the picture of him and then they go after them
street and thought other than he thought there
we did it
but apart from these I thought, however, they are
I really did it
maybe I managed to communicate art
rustu povero marvels beauty
in a place where there is nothing at night
to two people at half past three
morning I’m in one such one
dose of paranoia on them
convinced that I’m doing one
photography that stole for them is used is
managed to excite these two people
and then maybe I reached the goal
but then in the following days I thought
that maybe it happened too
something else maybe I hoped I have
thought I dreamed that maybe that
little girl who remained all the time
in silence and that was terrified
because he had a dad a mom a bit
details
perhaps at that time he will have seen that it was
possible at night in a suburb in
a dark post I can not where there is only
shadow discomfort misery total desert there
a madman who makes lights and creates
of the effects of the colors of the paintings
so I thought maybe this
big girl could decide
she to do these things she too
to help put light into the world
and then let’s say the stories that I have
told are all are all stories
of passion of mutation of
transformations are stories of flowers
bright are stories of my desire
to plant bright flowers in the world
thank you
