in brackets the first to evoke the second,
the only one capable of destroying him-
self and how good he managed to do.
He is the same being that inserts an
asphalt snake into an archaeological
area, almost literally wishing to put
“stone and bitumen” on his own past.
Elisa and Andrea do not indulge in no-
stalgia, in the “how it was before” but
with these images they forcefully deny
the streets, the viaducts, the buildin-
gs that cross a necropolis or rise on a
rock, becoming scarring. It is a poem
in which every word (every image) is
thrown with angry grace, skillful in-
ventiveness, verve controversy. The
complaint is explicit, although me-
diated by the constant and passionate
search for the artistic result. And the
“politics” there is, totally unaware,
but there is, in this visual poem that
dispensing bitterness in massive do-

quasi a stabilire un rapporto sim-
biotico con quel povero paesag-
gio offeso e, appunto, deforma-
to. Scuotendoci in modo brusco
dal torpore, queste immagini da
vedere e rivedere, da masticare
e rimasticare, da sognare e riso-
gnare, ci invitano a fare qualcosa
prima che il mostro di cemento
devasti anche l’ecologia della no-
stra anima.
