Il progetto del collettivo Fare Ala, presentato lo scorso 25 gennaio a Bologna in occasione di Arte Fiera nell’ambito della mostra collettiva dal titolo Il pensiero sotterraneo/Thinking Underground presso lo spazio Senza Filtro, indaga la delicata questione della rappresentazione cinematografica degli eventi più traumatici che hanno scandito gli anni di piombo in Italia.
Bodies and machines are defined by function: as long as they operate correctly, they remain imperceptible; they become a part of the process of perception, as the extension of the action that engages the Self with the world.[1]
Christina Mitrentse (born 1977, Greece) began her Wounded Book series as a response to her contribution to the Inventory of Al-Mutanabbi Street project, organised by Beau Beausoleil in 2010, to reflect on the damage to humanity and the loss of material knowledge caused by the car bombing in Baghdad’s booksellers’ street on 5 March 2007. Being an artist who works in series, unsurprisingly this one has continued to grow, and it has since been added to Mitrentse’s own ongoing project initiative, Add To My Library, vol. III.
