VÄLUTE is an imaginary place, a front-facing, invisible territory. In it anything is possible. The dream is confused with reality. The man is a woman, who is a man again, who is an animal, which is nothing. The shadows move without owner, without light. The memory appears diffuse in brief fragments of lucidity, to soon dissipate. A return to Eden. Maybe this is the place of death. Maybe it's VÄLUTE.


The return to this text (Luto, 2012), first arises from the desire to rewrite it by finding a more mature and creative universe. We associate grief with death. I prefer to associate it with survival strategies, even if they are lost in memories, dreams and circular thoughts, or in theatrical clichés. Inevitably I look at Hamlet and his ghosts, but I walk away because I can, because my commitment is not with him for the time being. I prefer to play with words and find the female of your mourning: Fight! Because it's fertile, it's got ganas, it's got life! Who am I tomorrow? So many possibilities... How to continue this after this? (whatever it is...).
