Why banana peel?

Creator of the "banana peel concept", Sara Zanin identifies in the peel the testimony of the human presence and strips the banana from its ephemeral vision associated with the male member to enhance what remains, an envelope that reveals the "bestial" part of the human being that it goes all the way to erotica.

What remains of a banana is not just a "waste", a refusal born of consummate and immediately forgotten performance, the peel is a cry of alarm, the attempt to preserve one's "bestiality" as a human being, which makes us more complex , able to activate the senses and perceive the world through them.

The banana peel is the presence of being in the city, it is the track that tells everyday stories, encounters, discoveries, abandonments and survival.

The banana, which has always been used as a metaphor for the male sexual organ, is the mere exaltation of the explicit that takes away the desire of the other and gives way to the comfort of the same, sacrificing the search for relationships and otherness as desire.

The banana peel is the testimony of the consumed and immediately forgotten performance, the peel is eros! It transforms the vision from "allusion of" to "allusion to" through the essence of its fruit. His representation nourishes the imagination, now forgotten, which is the only road that leads us to eroticism as an expression of the body, an exaltation of desire, a source of torment and passion generated by the imagination that feeds on what "is not yet ".
The peel is what welcomed the banana, but stretched out, open, lying on a street corner, it represents the traits of all of us who at least once in our life have felt like peels.
Erotica is the reappropriation of the instinctive part that makes us feel alive even just by imagining what is not explicit in the narcissistic era where everything is a performance of oneself. Thus, the Peel becomes a message of redemption of eroticism in a contemporaneity that is constantly more superficial, materialistic, far from Beauty as form and content.
Through art comes the urge to go beyond the "here and now", to accept eroticism as it is perceived and to make it a bridge that connects the individual to his life, his uniqueness, his fragility.
