MILAN/SANT'AMBROGIO

"In the form of dew may it spread over the grasses this body of mine.” These verses belong to the Japanese tradition of the “jisei no ku”, poems expressing a farewell to the world by samurai, monks and poets who, sensing the approach of death, wished to write their last words. This self-portrait and the project to which it belongs take inspiration by the verses to build a fantastic world, beyond time and reality, a world in which death is a moment of suspension, a step towards the unknown.
