Il benessere viene meno mentre il ballo delle marionette continua
2009
Neon, brass chains
Ca. 14 x 4 m, variable height

This installation's starting point is a 2009 ink drawing transposing a sentence from Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Lutheran Letters." The ink drawing later provided the basis for an immersive neon installation. The irregularity of the neon letters derives from the original drawing's blown ink. From the ends of each letter hang 170 golden chains that cascade down to the floor, creating a sensory environment for the spectator to traverse.
