NO WORD
A work of art does not need words. A relation yes. In this work, there are many words, but they are illegible: they are the words contained in hundreds of newspapers, rolled up and placed side by side, like so many colored pixels that form the only word that can be read: NO.It is an NO shouted against the protagonism of the image, which today tends to replace speech anyway and everywhere. The sentences become shorter and shorter: a few words for everything. The writing is obliged to take refuge in books and newspapers, now threatened of extinction. But to build-and maintain-qualitatively meaningful relationships, the only ones to predict happiness, we need to dialogue. For which words are indispensable. In this work, the image, by putting its pixels at the disposal of the word NO, paradoxically affirms, by itself, the centrality of the word.
