\u201cNon abbiamo bisogno di dare un nome a tutte le nostre emozioni.
\nL’arte \u00e8 creata da stimoli innominati. Da sofferenze senza cure e passioni senza risposte.
\nE\u2019 una realt\u00e0 surreale. E’ l\u00e0, tangibile, visibile, vivibile.
\nEppure cos\u00ec inafferrabile, inconsistente, eterea.
\nE’ oltre. Oltre le parole. E’ tutto ci\u00f2 che stai assaporando con i tuoi sensi.
\nE’ tutto ci\u00f2 che \u00e8 l\u00e0 nelle tue immagini. E’ tutto ci\u00f2 che hai dentro, ma non sai ancora che cos’\u00e8”.<\/p>\n

Stimoli innominati, sofferenze senza cure e passioni senza risposte, un work in progress lungo un quarto di secolo che non accenna a tirare i remi in barca, frutto di fantasia onirica e poesia immacolata.<\/p>\n

Un amore incondizionato per una terra pi\u00f9 unica che rara, che mi spinge prepotentemente a tornare, viaggio su viaggio, costringendomi a vedere, sempre e solo con occhi da bambino, questa meraviglia che si rinnova.<\/p>\n

Animismo giapponese, la contemplazione dell\u2019uomo di fronte alla sorpresa della natura, perfettamente incastonata in un paesaggio urbano a tratti avveniristico, a tratti ancora feudale.<\/p>\n

Su tutto la Citt\u00e0 Fumetto, la mia Tokyo, croce e delizia di sentimenti estremi e contraddizioni imperanti.
\nL\u2019ho vista cambiare, non sempre in meglio, sotto i colpi feroci d\u2019un turismo che, ovunque si sposti, non crea altro che danno ed omologazione.
\nL\u2019ho vista resistere strenuamente come ultimo avamposto d\u2019un mondo che tende, ahim\u00e8, a scomparire.<\/p>\n

In questo \u201cnon luogo\u201d dove l\u2019immaginazione prende il sopravvento sulla realt\u00e0 e le aspettative si confondono nel brutale, dolorosissimo dubbio di quel che poteva essere e non fu, mi sono magnificamente perduto per mai pi\u00f9 ritrovarmi.<\/p>\n

Durante l\u2019ultimo viaggio ho voluto aggiungere un altro capitolo a questa epopea nipponica, scomponendo foglia dopo foglia, colore su colore, il mio incontrollabile delirio. Rivivendo, tramite queste astrazioni, venticinque anni d\u2019ispirazione illuminata, notti insonni, giorni raggianti, lacrime amare, felicit\u00e0 sregolata, malinconia immensa e sogni incontenibili come vento e memoria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not need to name all our feelings.<\/span>
\nArt is made out of unnamed \u00e9lan. From reliefless suffering and passion without answers.<\/span>
\nIt is a surreal reality. It is there, tangible, visible, livable.<\/span>
\nAnd yet so elusive, insubstantial, ethereal.<\/span>
\nIt is beyond. Beyond words. It is all that you enjoy with your senses.<\/span>
\nIt is all that is in your images. It is all that you have within you, but you do not yet know what it is\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unnamed \u00e9lan, reliefless suffering and passion without answers, a work in progress for a quarter of a century that shows no signs of slowing down, the fruit of a dreamlike imagination and immaculate poetry.<\/span><\/p>\n

An unconditional love for a land more unique than rare, which compels me to return, journey after journey, forcing me to see, always and only with the eyes of a child, this wonder that renews itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Japanese animism, man’s contemplation of nature’s surprises, perfectly set in an urban landscape that is sometimes futuristic, sometimes still feudal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Above all, Cartoon City, my Tokyo, the cross and joy of extreme emotions and prevailing contradictions.<\/span>
\nI have seen it change, not always for the better, under the heavy blows of a tourism that, wherever it goes, causes nothing but damage and homologation.<\/span>
\nI have seen it resist fiercely as the last outpost of a world that is unfortunately tending to disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this \u201cnon-place\u201d, where imagination takes over from reality and expectations are confused in the brutal, painful doubt of what could have been and what was not, I lost myself magnificently, never to find myself again.<\/span><\/p>\n

On my last trip I wanted to add another chapter to this Japanese epic, to deconstruct my uncontrollable delirium leaf by leaf, color by color. To relive, through these abstractions, twenty-five years of enlightened inspiration, sleepless nights, radiant days, bitter tears, unbridled happiness, immense melancholy and dreams as irrepressible as the wind and memory.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
