On July 8, 2017 I met Enzo Barnabà, 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 and shirt imprisoned among the branches
disorderly clutter of clothes in the woods
Enzo found an important slip of paper
pauses inside a cottage around clothes and shoes of some
young african boys
berlin guys?
sign left by an artist
Leaf beyond the barbed wire mesch
On the walls of Gina’s homes
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
