Two collages I made out of pictures I took in 2014 when I was in Locarno, the Swiss-Italian city famous for its cinema festival. It was in December, but the temperature and the light made us feel like it was spring. The first one is a mosaic of wall and blue sky that decorated our trip. The white structures in colonial style on a brown house and the white lines that look like voodoo art give this collage an Haitian feeling. Nothing let the spectator know the pictures have been taken in Switzerland.
The second collage is composed of shades of blue only disturbed by dot/houses and white clouds separating the sky. I made it look like the upper part is so perfectly reflected on the lake surface that we can't distinguish the reality from its reflection. I added the words "partenza per" (departing for) I found wrriten on a sign in the port. The whole picture is an invitation to travel. This is an ode to this outstanding feeling of freedom we got when we are starting a new trip. The feeling we are getting free of the routine and the day-to-day boring life for something completly new with its share of surprises and chance encounters.
