EQUILIBRIUM (2) – 平衡 (2)

The Barcaldine Lighthouse, built by mistake in 1925 in the outskirts of the small town bearing the same name in West Queensland, Australia, has become synonymous with uncertainty or instability in the locals’ jargon. This is due to the fact that since its inauguration, the lighthouse beam which, as for all similar structures should have a regular frequency clearly indicated in nautical maps, instead shines in strange and irregular patterns that have never been solved or clearly explained even after two major refitting attempts in 1935 and 1965.
The lighthouse has become one of the least known landmarks in Australia, even though the famous ‘Mayday Shearer’s Festival’ is held here, in the same place which saw the birth of the Australian Labor Party in 1891.

EQUILIBRIUM (7)

Creativity is a path to freedom

Do you remember that day in 1972 when the San Francisco skyline changed forever (so to speak) when the Transamerica Pyramid was completed?

They say that a sense of serene fulfillment grabbed the hearts of everyone and that for a day, a smile was the expression that everyone wore on their faces. These combined together into a gigantic smile that rose up for just a moment to the very top of the skyscraper's pinnacle. It was one of those warm evenings when everyone feels at peace with oneself and the universe and forgetful of every day's toiling.

No pictures were taken, no article was written on the press, no governmental statement was issued.

At the end of the day, what was left was a mere feeling, a subdued sensation of calm and hope and, deep within the hearts of those who witnessed the event, the certainty that the impossible, no matter how unbelievable that may be, is just a few millimeters away from common sense.

PRESENT IN THE BALANCE (a diptych) - 2013

Present is the period of time unequivocally left in the narrow space between past and future.

Equilibrium, the exhibition cured by Gianluca Veltri at ANADEMA Hair Stylists' in Milan (www.anadema.com) is going on with the help of its main character, the horse. Here's one I met the other day in Piazza del Duomo, while on my way to class at IED's. We exchanged polite greetings and parted. They told me the gentle steed is here to report about our present-day illusions for a newspaper of unknown denomination.
To anyone who might send me a copy of such articles would go my utter respect and appreciation.

The HORSE-TREE

Everyone knows that money doesn't grow on trees, but horses sometimes do.

Yet not so many amongst us pay the attention that such an interesting phenomenon would deserve.
