THE BLANK CONTEMPORARY ART
99 WORDS WITH GIAN MARIA TOSATTI

I found by chance this old photograph taken on the days when I had completed my three-year effort for the “Sette Stagioni dello Spirito” project. And it recurs what always happens to me when I look back, review images or reread texts linked to works from the past. I think: «Is it possible that I already then knew so well what I am still looking for today?». Actually, this question measures a distance. The distance between the artist and the artwork. The work knows, understands. The work is a hundred times greater than the artist who discovers it and then, at times, forgets it.
