"Once created, no structure is ever lost" Joseph Sandler
Having desires is indisputable, whilst expressing them in a similar way to those experienced in childhood might seem surprising. Yet, since memory and desire are intimately linked in consciousness, we all retrace our steps tofind the roads already covered in childhood.
These considerations are the starting point used by Tommaso Fiscaletti and Alice Marrollo to create an originalproject the outcome of which is both photographic and dramatic.
At centre stage a big teddy bear is sitting on a chair, and a parade of men and women are whispering their mostimportant desires in his ear. In the meantime, they sit on his lap, embracing and caressing him. Through the 14photographs and the accompanying video that make up the exhibition different attitudes are captured, in turnshowing shyness, confidence, and curiosity. They all seem to force people to interact ideally with their childhoodpast, to be denied or confirmed.
The scene is set in a clearly declared “theatrical area” as evidenced by the presence of a large red curtain in thebackground. Thus, on the one hand we deal with a current reflection and on the other we do it with the critical detachment that characterizes every viewer.
