Impermanenza — Aurora Paolillo
From 05/04/2024 to 07/04/2024
“I thought of a work that is in continuous transformation and that is created over the course of an entire life, as if it were the synthesis of all the experiments carried out by the artist. I thought of a work made entirely of these attempts, sketches, which are nothing other than the representation of the interrupted instant, which is followed by another instant and then another instant, and so on, in a constant material growth. This work remains there, in a corner and, year after year, it is created, slowly like the rhythm of the time that I can dedicate to art”.
Aurora Paolillo
Nothing remains,
nothing is free from perpetual change
I am dead, what can I do?
– from the Tibetan Book of the Dead
