l.
“This is an important recognition that oriental culture pays to Marini - explains a note -.
In fact, his research combines the abstract signs of the Western alphabet with the illustrated one of the Eastern ideograms”.
“This immersive installation –
underlines Marini himself
– takes inspiration from a rainy day.
Except that here the raindrops never fall, but remain suspended in a linguistic universe yet to be discovered.
Letters become letters only if they are associated together with other letters and take the form of the word.
They acquire meaning in their linear composition.
In this work of art the letters never touch the ground, but remain in the world of ideas, of the possible, of potential.
They are in no hurry to touch the ground, they are in no hurry to become words, sentences, speeches.
They love the freedom of space and the suspension of time.
They aspire to become fragments of eternity.”
