art and destruction

the destructive character sees nothing permanent. but for this very reason he sees ways everywhere. where others encounter walls or mountains, there, too, he sees a way. but because he sees a way everywhere, he has to clear things from it everywhere. not always by brute force; sometimes by the most refined. because he sees ways everywhere, he always stands at a crossroads. no moment can know what the next will bring. what exists he reduces to rubble – not for the sake of rubble, but for that of the way leading through it. walter benjamin, frankfurter zeitung, 20th november 1931

Lia Cecchin - Già dimenticata (Already forgotten), 2012

dead houseplants

dim. var.

“Già dimenticata” (Already forgotten) takes form from an intimate action, which consists in the gesture to vandalize and destroy some dead houseplants. The artist’s space within the show will be devoted to give a proper farewell to their remains.
