BLOW (AGAINST THE WALLS)

"The walls can leapfrog, bypass, overstep digging underground tunnels.
Yet many countries around the world continue to build new ones.
When the Berlin Wall was torn down, in 1989, there were only 15 muri, today they are 70. "

Reece Jones

Blow. Soffiare via, blow.
Blowing inside a circle and create soap bubbles.
The soap bubble is beautiful.
Many soap bubbles are beautiful.
Anyone who can blow them can.
someone falls, qualcuna sale, It depends on the air there.
The bubbles are read. They reflect the reality and make round.
Reality becomes round, colorful and disappears after a while '.
The reality with lots of soap bubbles is a landscape that was not there before.
And’ a landscape by the breath of those who made them.
The people are blowing does not speak and become more beautiful.
They have a mouth shaped like a hope and sweetest expression.
Whoever you are, shalt make beautiful bubbles like everyone else.
Someone makes the biggest someone smaller but do not know which I like better.
The blow bubbles go everywhere.
They touch all and only a few dodge.
When burst, if there is such silence and feels, They make a beautiful noise.
Sometimes they manage to go through a network.
Sometimes they manage to pass a wall with the right wind blow.

BLOW It is a collective performance in which you invite people to blow soap bubbles against the Wall.
This wall has symbolic and evocative, He speaks of the wall in West Bank, all erected barriers at national borders but also of all invisible walls, metaforici, unjust and personal.
They are special bubbles, They have the pigment inside and leave a trace: his breath becomes design. The left drawing is a painting made of collective breaths, want, rebellion and hope.

I 7 drawings are present in the gallery of the performance trace produced for Documenta in Athens at TAF – The Art Foundation (07/07- 16/07/2017).
