MEFISTOFELE.
Working on the Faust suddenly that I wanted to tell begane to germinate,
to reproduce and to multiply itself in series of "pictures", out
of the canonical story. So Mefistofele was born.
Sketched pictures, studies, notes and designs, as I said before, in continuoes
process of adaptation. They are funs, anxieties and reflexions, thoughts always
changing in the space of the head, in the closed room that in which one recently
tempts to barricade oneself, the space in which the world breaks in throught
tv-images and noise of the cars.
They're associations of different material of texts (mostly of them I written
by myself, with some citationes from Maestro e Margherita and from Goethes
Faust) of images, of video, of tv, of songs of little mental choreographies.
The long night without sleeping, the bloody fight with oneself for the sleep
and abandonment, lucidity, difficulty of coming out the own space all this
provoked the apparition of Mefistofele and of his assistance Margherita-cat,
who sprang out of the tv.
Mefistofele is the number two, the other part of being, that one which knows
the world and dares, the adulterating part exchanges objects and dares to
live.
Mefistofele: "Without me you don' exist, with me you exist. You want
remain a single person but also I get it; so we are two and you're not alone.
You're not alone / not alone / without me". The number three, Margherita-cat,
is close, so close every time with her silence and her noise she gives flowers
and pleasures and at last, she takes in her arms.
