Founding
word
More than we can imagine, books determine our existence. Even when we stop reading them. They determine our existence, the existence of our neighbors, of our descendants, the existence of history.
More than we can imagine, books determine our existence. Even when we stop reading them. They determine our existence, the existence of our neighbors, of our descendants, the existence of history.
Essentially,
books
are an expression of love. Like utterance, even more than utterance.
An expression of love, made to last even after love extinguishes or
conceals.

This
exhibition gravitates around the Book of Life, in a broad sense, as a
mystery of writing and living within the Word. From the Christian
sense of the great book of Salvation, to the Borgesian sense of the
books that are keeping the memory of the world, and up to the
apparently anodyne meanings of "the books of our personal
lives", that we are also trying to inscribe, as far as we
concent about eternity, into the great Book of Redemption.
The
Supreme writer, He who founded the Book of Life and is always
refreshes it, can not be represented through images. But the loving
gesture of the divine writing into our lives is discovered in every
love story that had become a legend, in each new writing and
transmitting of the words of wisdom, of the revealed and revealing
word. Snapshots of these acts of writing, made in solitude or in
synergetic couples - as unwitnessed hierogamies - snapshots of sacred
or legendary love stories and converted to other acts of writing,
have been recorded by the drawings of this exhibition.
Europe
is also an outgrowth of writing. Of the interweaving of Aryan,
Semitic and Christian destinies, developed in a multimillenary story,
written by man and God, that we would like to be endless. A story,
whose sunset we have been warned long ago and today we fear more than
ever.
This
exhibition is also dedicated to Europe, to Christian, blessed by God
Europe, that we do not want to lose. In the same way as to
Scheherazade, with her "1001 Nights" and her weddings,
which is are nothing but a mythical image of the great Book of Life
and of man with God transfiguring wedding.
