Questo il testo di introduzione alla mostra, è in Inglese, perdonate l'assenza di traduzione:
"In 1928’s silent movie adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel The man who laughs, directed by Paul Leni, the main way for the disfigured Gwynplaine (played by an impressive Conrad Veidt) to express his own feelings was through his eyes and his tears.
Tears. Eyes as a source of unespected water, coming from a secret spring, buried in the depths of the human chest. The eye is dumb in cause of this unconscious flow of liquid, determined by unconditioned feelings, something can’t be controlled or kept inside, something that’s leaving our bodies such life itself, day by day, drip by drip.
During the Middle Ages the everflowing water was a portrait of Time and accordingly, of Death: a delicate balance, where Life gave place to Death, moving silent on dragon coils (an emblemata of water itself).
So Time is flowing silent, silent as the poor Gwynplaine.
Water rolling down from the eyes of Infinity, bringing further down the spiral, to the depths of a distant land, a dangerous Shamballa where everything is far, where everything is close to us.
I often put together the main focus points of interest in my artwork: isolation, strange creatures (sometimes funny), plain colours, hearts, lack of communication, tears and of course, eyes. Developing a new frontier into my artistic production: here it is the Dumb Eye series."
