COLORS AND PICTURES OF PITTI SPRING SUMMER 2011
NO email, write me a letter. Retaking possession of writing-handwriting
Symbolically rejecting the culture of digital communications for a more sincere method. Digital has developed sensitivity in the fingertips, but it has diminished our manual skills- our natural movements and gestures are being suffocated. Let’s revive the ability to write and draw and to communicate through handwriting with a line, with a mark that is often more meaningful than the contents described by words or by a drawing.
NO Restaurant, bake me some bread. Retaking possession of the home to prepare our food.
Eating is essential for creativity, eating poorly doe not make us creative. The quality and simplicity of our meals straightens our minds and bodies. We will avoid fast or complicated food that are as difficult to understand as they are to digest.
NO Supermarket, I will grow some greens. Retaking possession to the earth.
In the new world we will all be responsible for production, consumption and quality. We will reestablish contact with the heart and the balance between man the earth’s productivity; a relationship of listening, understanding and respect that can yield generous fruits.
NO Washing Machine, I will do it by hand. Retaking possession of balance with water.
Establishing a new dialog with element essential to life. Like the purifying and regenerating rituals we find in all cultures and religions we will make new contact with water through the simple, common actions of doing laundry.
No Car, lets go for a walk. Retaking possession of the space around us.
The car quickly deprived us of the pleasure of perceiving, understanding and enjoying the space around us-especially in small towns and bog cities. In the new world we will get out of the car and will listen to the street: its rhythms, voices and faces.
