Le case Danzanti

Discover the town’s soul, making the old and recent buildings come to life again, showing through their walls the thoughts, lives and dreams of the people who spent part of their existence inside them. Old centres as living entities dismantled and reconstructed, reinventing partially the order, houses which recover consciousness, as in a childish game, interweaving their destiny with the voices, ideas, sounds, ancient trades of their past and future inhabitants. On the canvas their sensations, smiles, emotions, hatreds and loves come joyfully alive. Houses rising, drooping, flowing, towering, clinging to the rock and to time, as if they were tesseras of a fragile and refined mosaic. They are houses on their way, wishing to fly, wishing to dance their history; houses which revolt because someone has emptied them of humanity, depriving them of their voice, their sounds, the thousand little crafts which made them alive, instead turning them into commodities, simple and cold objects of profit. Painting these buildings, these towns, is making them speak. It is giving voice, through colour and its materiality and texture, making clear the dialogue with the past, with the rationale behind their construction. The colours are the houses and our emotional states. They are the clash with time, the wind, which shakes the torpid mind, the feeble critical capacity. They are the renunciation of conformist gestures, of virtual images and projections, of sounds without soul, of non-communication, of the standardisation of ideas and consumption. They are music, they are the sun that gives us life and accompanies us throughout it.
