Text by Lorenzo Madaro
Design by Attilio Solzi
The whole photographic work revolves around the words/phrases Attilio Solzi chose and told to performers and artists to write in abandoned, occupied or vandalized places. The nudity of the writers as well as the use of Latin in the title is a reference to a certain classicist aesthetic (the statue with its base, which is represented here by hyper-contemporary bodies on plastic stools). The work is done through the use of photo sequences.
