DEAR (2013)slide projected on wall, slide, slide projector, text, dimensions variable

Dear,In my last trip to the top of the mountain I saw a floating island in the mist. I thought that I was living with the same astonishment and “panic” experienced by Friedrich’s wonderer so, I took this picture. A few days later, thanks to ARPA (Regional Agency for environmental protection), I discovered that on the same weekend of my trip the air pollution particles were twice the limit permitted by law. This pollution particles effected the

visibility of the atmosphere and the processes of water condensation. All this produced a layer of smog which was visibile only from the high ground.This image is a deceiving to the gaze and sentiment an illusory truce, purity. it testifies that most invisible fusion, the fusion between what we think and what it really is.
