PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. Should be viewed large to see the detail, seeing this in real was great and I could feel what the artist was trying to portray. Presentation of the work by Pascal Di Peri, his creator: You are here at the ground floor of the Tower of the Mill. Once this place was a jail. Up to 60 prisoners were crowded in here. The memory of this place is so dramatic and captivating that it seemed to me, the work had been existing and dripping from the walls a long time before its creation. As an archaelogist >> of this invaluable memory, I wanted to to make the scum of this energy and narrative convulsions which emanated from it a little more palpable. Raising the ground in its centre in a volcano with gold vapours. This diaphanous memory, but of an absolute determination, comes out of the lapse of memory until crashing it to pieces. The allegorical shades of this fog of history evoked by frantic meanders, makes irradiate the pangs of suffering and the survival of hope in the same nebula. It pleads and pays homage... Trinity hanging in the air takes us back to the factual history of this prison and to the timeless and universal marks related to the process of confinement as well. Sixty hands are projected there, in the lava of these molten confessions. Delivered from them or lost into them, their profusion symbolizes as much the desolation of the prisoners as the tool of their spiritual escape characterized by the graffiti which garnish the stones of these oppressive walls. A captivating voice and a sound world coming from the limits of time ineluctably turn there. They testify to the circular ambulation of the prisoners: perpetual round of the torments of anguish and the dreams of time which stagnates... Powerful and paradoxical evocation which characterizes this place more than everything. Because the human beings were crushed by punishment here, leading them to death in the top of this tower the grinding stone of the mill had crushed seed to feed life in the fortress at one time. I had been working out this creation for eight months with a technique developed and called structure-weaving. I had been using more than thirty kilometres of wire for my work. It is on this technique, made up with tied metal wire that I focus the essence of my research on the theme of night confinement being the night of the body. |
