Description

The new commission for the museum's collection was designed to be placed on the terrace, which dominates the surrounding district of San Lorenzo at 360 degrees, up to Vesuvius and the sea, barely visible in the distance. The sea does not wet Naples, right from its title, cites that of the book published by Anna Maria Ortese in 1953, a collection of short stories that returns the difficulties, the drama and the suffering of post-war Naples with a critical, sometimes merciless, gaze. The apparently absurd statement hides a bitter reflection: where the sea is synonymous with openness and possibility, then Naples cannot be bathed by the same waters that offer a way of escape and redemption. Bianco-Valente takes up this painful assumption, showing its most paradoxical aspect: from the terrace it is in fact visible, even if in the distance, the same sea that the phrase denies, activating a short circuit between meaning and signifier. The words that make up the writing are made of iron: the discontinuity of the surface, left in its raw state but covered by a generous layer of paint that will be taken up every year by the artists, reinforces the roughness of the words and refers to a state of tension that has never been resolved. , difficult to "smooth out" but, for this reason, dramatically authentic.
