Message to the Earth

Performance · Performance, Noa Gallery, Roma · 2022

A letter to the planet written with the body. Performance at Noa Gallery, Rome.

Critical text

Message to the Earth is a performance-writing. I used my body as a pen, the floor of Noa Gallery as page, and I let the action settle. pigments, traces, casts. At the end there was a letter, written without words, which no one would read but the planet.

It's a secular rite. A way of saying "I see you" to something that usually ignores us. No protest, no slogan, no environmental manifesto. Just a slow, insistent gesture, repeated long enough to become sediment.

Message to the Earth believes that ecology is first of all a question of attention. Looking at the ground as if it were someone. Moving as if someone were watching.
