The title is taken from a song by Daniel Johnston, with an uncertain and poetic meaning. In these few words, a dramatic and hopeful message coexist.
In our world and in our lives, these two elements are often accompanied by passion, driving toward what we desire and feel is right—pure for some, identity-driven for others; a tool for fighting, in defense of values, truth, and our love.
Passion is an absolute feeling, capable of dominating both individual and collective personalities to the point of profoundly influencing historical changes. It has always accompanied and guided our evolution through a series of mistakes, catastrophes, joys, and achievements pursued in the name of love, in the name of deities, in the name of nations, in the name of freedom.
The exhibition explores this ambiguous terrain by presenting two bodies of work together: on one hand, Wild combination, 2025, resin sculptures with organic, sinuous shapes that feature details and fragments of explosions replicated from the visual chronicles of our present; on the other, Gli Esultanti, 2025 a series of helmets defined by dimensions unfit for human bodies, seemingly from a distant past, yet scattered with elements re-calling the technology of our time. The works are supported by iron structures, seemingly functional, but when frozen in a static position, they suggest tension and uncertainty about their true meaning.
