Ratatata,Boom, Bang, Wroooam
Che c’é dinuovo, uno sguardo sulla scena artistica emergent in Ticino, @Dienstgebaüde,Zurich, April 2016
Ratatata, Boom, Bang, Wroooam, is considered as the secondchapter of my project Iteotwawki since 2003.
This work was presented in Dienstgebaüde in Zurich 2016 and Stadt Gallery Bern 2018. The installation was formed by four hand-made bags, each decorated with a word of the title: Ratatata, Boom, Bang, Wrooam.
The installation evoke the narrative of violence. Walking around the bags, it is possible to see on the bottom the elements necessary to make a handmade bomb. While the outside looks like a pop-art installation, in reality it is actually used to a hide a bomb.
A Molotov on the wall is part of the composition and on it is written the definition of the psychological term: Repression. This announces a desire to riot which is presented as a repressed feeling, in the waiting to manifest.
The bags are used as the iconography of what we carry in a intimate level, it announce a repressed violence while on the surface we show a joyful.
