The 'others', explains Max Marra, are always us. Presented for the first time at the Lissone Museum, the homonymous box contains 28 mixed techniques on paper, with manual interventions in tempera and ink on fragments of paper applied to each print, to confer uniqueness and singularity to each element of the collection. Vittorio Raschietti's pen was entrusted with the task of narrating this great atlas of figures that embody themselves in hybrid zoomorphic and anthropomorphic forms, often grotesque masks, always allegorical. Elongated faces, shaved heads, circled eyes, masked desires, failed actions. Faces without ears, willing to listen only to the inner voice, immersed in their internal dialogue. Forked tongues propagate lies in the circulation of falsehood, faithful to the deception of the world. False shadows project hidden truths already ready to betray themselves. Humanoid forms embedded in a complicated interlocking game. Like pieces of a disassembled figure, cut out and finally reassembled for a non-random assembly game, following an ancient incomprehensible ritual. Faces embedded in other faces, like souls introjected into other spirits. Mental labyrinths, visual entanglements, microcosms of signs that refer to a macrocosm of a graphic world wrapped around itself: where the world is a sign and the sign becomes the world. At the end of the exhibition, the limited edition box will be included in the permanent collections of the Lissone Museum.
