"IL RESPONSO DELL' ARUSPICE IL GIORNO 11/9/2001: INVISA MATRIBUS ARMA / LE MADRI ODIANO LE ARMI"

The Shock of the sudden attack at the Twin Towers is replicated on the shore of the Hudson from the attack of the Indian with bow and flaming arrows, that darts here and there, by chance, the figures outline of the scene where Jackson Pollock and Sitting Bull paint stars and white-red stripes on a pregnant model haloed with flames. While Andy Warhol filmed with the camera the "fake event", two soothsayers (recognizable by the square of wood or "Templum") mimic the two stages of "Ars Aruspicina": present and future. One scans the sky... and suddenly in the 'square' appears a shark: the incredible present - but also the antecedent of July 2001, when a shark bit a child, almost out of water and cut off his arm that then Uncle recovered by killing the shark, (This is shown in the center of the picture) - and the other leads to leash a woman, anticipating what happened in the prison of Abu Graib, where a woman Sergeant, U.S. Army, for mockery, held an Iraqi prisoner on a leash. The Negro mother, nursing a white baby, holding a scroll with writing, clearly visible, "INVISA MATRIBUS ARMA" / "(Mothers hate guns") that is yes, the soothsayer's response, but perhaps more a warning: a warning to those leaders who rely more on guns than diplomacy. The past teaches us that it is diplomacy that addresses the international disputes and avoids war. If, then, the man discovers the power of the word that in principle founded all things, simply by naming them, - hence it is evident that if the word has the power to give birth to everything from scratch can also easily implement peace and prosperity - then many apocalyptic predictions vanish by magic... and the "specter of the end", that the fateful 2001 has all tormented, disappears as darkness won by the light of the onset of the day.
