Look at me
Look at me
Look at me shows a beard cut taking place on a small balcony on the first floor of a building in the historical centre of Naples. Two jugs seem to be waiting beard and hair as if they were relics, thus recalling the showcase/theca where the blood of S. Gennaro, the patron saint of Naples, is kept, and the miracle (of its melting) recurs every year. The blue flag of Naples soccer team, the objects, the scissors and the brushes, tell, narrate and convey possible histories and paths.
The sounds of nature, of the city, of everything, emerge.
In the end the sound of a laughter disperses the simulacrum.
The human being is matter, clay, marble, and the contemporary portrayal is moulded by the artists as a simulacrum of presence, an idol which goes beyond truth and falseness, close to play, art and culture.
Nowadays lives mix up with other environments, experience a new world, an interconnected culture and places where “you either exist in the media or you are noone”, that is you are noone if you are not represented.
The artistic portrayal, while it invetigates otherness, makes the subjectitvity of the individual blurred.
Within the “Real”, the “Human” gradually and continuously vanishes into its own artificial simulacra.
