I ain't superstitious
this video was made after the realization of a site specific installation and performance.In a church in Umbria.
A bride dressed with old newspapers gets into the church.
she is alone none will take her to the altar and none is waiting for her.
Concentrated and secure she starts walking on the mirrors that sobstitute the carpet on her way to the altar crashing them under her high heel shoes.
The title "I ain't superstitious" (as the blues song) is ironic.
Everything is about culture, religion, tradition and superstition.
Our society is suffering of identity crisis. we are not able anymore to recognize our own roots and culture, and often we look for more exotic foreing style of life and philosophy.
We need sometimes to crash our traditions but doing it without recognizing our origins can be dangerous, and we might crash ourselves, as the bride in the video that is crashing not only the mirrors but her own image reflcted under her feet.
