Chill Pill  

On December 3, 2019 I sent a letter to the artist Gianni Colosimo in which I expressed the desire that he become my mentor.

 

The same day I left Milan on foot (from the apartment where I had made the poetic action n.2) to reach his home in Turin. In the backpack, in addition to the travel equipment, I had eight skeins of cotton thread, with which I intended to trace my path.

The journey, imagined as a metaphor for life, required a "right effort": hence the desire to carry on my shoulders all the skeins I needed - for a total of two hundred kilometers of wire -  lightening myself along the way as the thread unwound.

Planning the route stage by stage, I reached the artist's house after eleven days of walking, symbolically connecting the two cities that are the custodians of my experience - Milan and Turin - as well as the towns and people I met during the performance.
