FOREVER
Torino, 2011
In 2011 Italy
as a unified nation was becoming 150 years old. Meanwhile 1.500.000 people were
supposed to live North Africa to reach Europe through the Mediterranean sea:
refugees or new citizens. “FOREVER” illustarates a historical european city,
Palermo, with Egyptian monument in its landscape. From Rome to Paris,
imperialism left its traces behind it: obelisques ( and not only ) stolen from
theyr original land and brought in the cities of the empirors. What if now new
communities coming from other countries, could start being so deeply integrated
in the society to introduce solid elements of theyr own cultures into theyr new
landscapes? Thus past could be equivalent to the future: that is eternity. Forever.
