“Man inhabits the shadow of words, the carousel of the shadow of words. Albert Caraco defined it as a "metaphysical animal": an entity that gives light to the world through words. Between the word and the light falls the shadow that allows it to shine."
Like shadows, in nature, in painting and in the words that accompany them, "per-Corsi di-Versi" wants to open the window wide, give its contribution, through the lens of the "third eye" of poets and visual artists, to look , through and forward, without the fear of losing the certainties deriving from our past, too often experienced in a nostalgic way, rather than as an opportunity for knowledge to understand our time and its many new paths. Highlighting the community aspect of the agreement between the speakers, since its debut in 2010, shared in the anthology Appendere ad Arte.
Far from being an escape from the world, poetry and all the arts can reveal themselves to be a space for reformulating the world, where we can imagine and suggest new practices of living and dwelling, aiming to illustrate a natural paradigm capable of opposing "wings" to technicalities of our time, with the possibility of maintaining a symbiotic and spiritual relationship throughout our earthly life.
The critical investigation of words and colors, functional to the elaboration in works, give life to a broadly socio-philosophical discourse around the concepts of meridianity, geo-cultural marginality and resistance, of which the poets and artists, with the very powerful dimness of their light, they become a vivid and precious symbol.
Having lowered all the "veils", to discover lights and shadows, without establishing boundaries, we leave the attentive observer with a memory of Franco Cassano: «The border is not a place where the world ends, but the one where the different touch each other» (from The Meridian Thought)
