Museum of Contemporary Art in Maldonado
(S)CONFINARE
Created for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, exhibited the first time in Milan's Duomo square, during the event Plaza 2009-Oltre il limite. Observing the work from afar, it appears as a barrier, an obstacle consisting of two parallel monoliths that remind of a segment of the Berlin wall, for years a symbol of restrictions and impossibility of communication. As we get closer, what happens inside becomes more and more legible: a mass of letters of the world's seven most diffused writing systems gushes forcefully outs, as a manifestation of the dialogue, an impetuous and overwhelming force capable of uprooting the walls of forced isolation. Each limit is mirrored by an escape route, a crack through which freedom of expression can flow, to finally erupt like a raging river.
