"According to Ralph W. Emerson, “Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and as we pass through them they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue.” With Cerco l’estate tutto l’anno [Searching for summer all year long], Aurora Biancardi unstrings the beads from the thread to observe the latter in its essential linearity, turning it in her hands, confident that she can still find within it the filters and hues that the American philosopher placed in the succession of beads. This desire for simplicity, this longing for the heart of things, intertwines the melancholy of discarded matter with the joy of discovery, holding together objects deeply imbued with their Mediterranean atmosphere—the colorful bracelets sold to tourists in summer or mosquito mat refills—and sensations that transcend geographic boundaries, carrying that melancholy and joy towards Germany, where Biancardi lives." — Vittoria Caprotti. > Read more
