To Khaled al-Asaad, guardian of beauty
An exhibition-event that focuses on the theme of migration faced in terms of human emergency, before politics, seen from the eyes of those who suffer the need and absolves the duty that feels stronger: Must Go Away.
A work born from the synergy of Guido Orsini and Marcello Tagliente: the shots by Orsini reveal the different moments and conditions of a long journey ‘via’ the sea; the words of Tagliente tell the story of the forced navigators.
So that visual histories alternate with the rhythm of the poems and describe the travail of a detachment and the supreme hope that accompanies it: to survive. Mourning is in the abandonment of affections, colors, arts and crafts, materials and tools; panoramas and landscapes built by generations of men. The abandonment of the roots of one’s own history, of the depths of a cult.
Of every beauty that belongs to the terrapropria (ownland, translator’s note).
That beauty that the duty of departure transforms into a mournful memory that waits for becoming sacred, while present, but divine, is the possibility of survival and instinct silently pronounces the most powerful of promises: Go Home.
The time of these deep emotions is in the photographic installations by Guido Orsini, in the words of Marcello Tagliente, in the sound of the waves of the Mare Nostrum. In the vivid memory of Khaled al-Asaad to whom this exhibition is dedicated.
GUIDO ORSINI
From 1967 to 1972 he attended the State Art Institute of Rome 2 and began his personal research in the field of graphic designing books, covers, symbols. From 1974 to 1994 he worked as a role teacher, architectural design and modeling, at the State Art Institute in Civitavecchia (from 1974 to 1985) and at the State Art Institute of Rome 2 (since 1985 to 1994). Since 1990 he began his research in the photographic field with experimentation and use of new techniques and alternative materials, positive films of large format, experimentation with toner and toning. From the beginning he is interested in exploring the relationship between photography, graphics and painting. His works are part of public and private collections.
MARCELLO TAGLIENTE
Coming from Puglia, he lives in Rome where he works as an archaeologist at the Directorate General of Museums of the Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities and Tourism. He has promoted in Europe and in the world, with exhibitions and conferences, the knowledge of the ancient cultures of Italy and of the relationships with the other people settled in the Mediterranean basin. His poems are published in Italy, France and Belgium. In his professional and poetic experience he promoted initiatives in Europe, the Maghreb and Palestine that would promote, in the name of peace, dialogue between people of different cultures and religions.
