The symbolism of the stars, adopted in the flag as witnesses of common values of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples that form part of it, is translated by the artist into a series of constellations, first of all the one of Taurus whose birth, legend wants , it is tied to the love of the supreme Zeus God for the young Europe. Right now after Brexit, a star inexorably breaks the harmony of the circle, triggering perhaps a dangerous process, and certainly disappointing the ideals. The installation closes on the image of Diana Ephesina as a generator of generosity welcome and nourishment, impersonating itself as the promised landmark Europe of these last great migrations.
La simbologia delle stelle, adottate nella bandiera come testimoni di valori comuni di unità, solidarietà e armonia tra i popoli che ne fanno parte, è traslata dall’artista in una serie di costellazioni, in primis naturalmente quella del Toro la cui nascita, leggenda vuole, sia legata proprio all’amore del Dio supremo Zeus per la giovane Europa.
Ad oggi dopo il Brexit, una stella inesorabilmente rompe l’armonia del cerchio innescando forse un pericoloso processo, e certamente deludendo gli ideali. L’installazione si chiude sull’immagine della di Diana Efesina, come dispensatrice di generosità accoglienza e nutrimento, impersonificandosi come Europa terra promessa di queste ultime grandi migrazioni.
The united Europe – a mirage of generations and hopes for migrant populations – is undergoing today, despite the evidence of common history and cultures that have been witnessed by the mythical Greeks – an important moment of crisis.
L’Europa Unita – miraggio di generazioni e meta agognata da popolazioni di migranti – sta attraversando oggi, nonostante l’evidenza di storie e culture comuni testimoniata appunto fin dai miti greci – un grave momento di crisi.
Europe is trying to get a common policy and currency, but it needs a soul.
L’Europa cerca di darsi una politica e una moneta comune, ma ha soprattutto bisogno di un’anima.
