2013 Programme
EVENT #32
Francesca Alfano Miglietti, Antonio Marras
Nulla dies sine linea-Not a day without a line
“Not a day without picking up my pencil and drawing a line… my imagination was always chaotically crowded”. Antonio Marras draws, picks up looks and fragments for his works to be: a way to draw maps, to mark territories, to organize voices and silences. To him, fashion is a connection to other languages, a new alphabet to communicate with them. This conversation is a journey into metamorphoses, and the idea of journey plays an all-important role in outlining the confines and the forms of the contemporary, where the frenzy of change marks identities. A dialogue in pictures between Marras and FAM, starting fro the encounter as poetic and political strategy, as constant flow, as movement overcoming barriers, as escape from control strategies, as an interstitial space.
