Tales 4




On July 8, 2017 I met Enzo, a writer living in Grimaldi (Ventimiglia). He pointed to me a path between woods and mountains that many migrants, especially africans, travel to reach France and from there maybe go to the countries of northern Europe.
I went through the barbed wire net  I came to France. During this journey I photographed objects, signs, letters and letters written by those who passed by.
Back home I picked up the material and from this I made nine oil canvases every 30 x 40 cm.


jeans e maglietta imprigionati tra i rami 


jeans and shirt imprisoned among the branches 


ammasso disordinato di vestiti nel bosco


disorderly clutter of clothes in the woods
 


Enzo ha trovato un importante foglietto


Enzo found an important slip of paper
 


pausa dentro un casolare attorno a vestiti e scarpe di alcuni giovani ragazzi africani


pauses inside a cottage around clothes and shoes of some young african boys
 


ragazzi berlinesi?


berlin guys?
 


segno lasciato da un artista


sign left by an artist


foglietto al di là della rete di filo spinato


Leaf beyond the barbed wire mesch
 


sui muri di case Gina


On the walls of Gina’s homes
 


senza titolo


Without title





After performing these canvases, I asked Enzo if he wanted to write something about this road he knew so well. He asked me if I could run three more canvases; these are not „things“ I met up there, but all this will allow him to tell us things happened in the recent past.






scimmie (50 x 70 cm)
monkeys





les avions renifleurs (50 x 70 cm)
the reconnaissance aircraft





anno 1939 (50 x 70 cm)
Year 1939



And this is the canvas that I've decided to do after Enzo has written the introduction:





Biamonti e la frontiera (100x70 cm)

Biamonti and the Border 


Lo scrittore Enzo Barnabà (70x 50 cm)
The writer Enzo Barnbà
