SELF WORLD: The mirror of art.

Nineteen women read, like a soul without weight. Each woman has her minute and a half to get out by artifice of everyday life, with its own essence. Women who invite you to look on reality from a different angle, looking for something else in the collective imagination. I saw everything everything and every time I notice a particular difference... images look the same, but so different. ... And I see women who express themselves freely, like breathing. But even more I see the memories of Francesco Attolini, his vision ... and I see everything. Because you know the video art can be everything and nothing. And in the case of Francesco it is everything. He, who built the foundation of his art through sophisticated research by the means of video, has made SELF WORLD work in vertical, in depth. For him who is all the people he met. For him all these women are the part of himself. For him his beautiful way of life in video art was like a mirror, the doors of synesthesia are totally open. For him his poetry of the self-portrait amplifies the similarities and differences between the alleged artist and the alleged object.
It is interesting how the means of video are used.I'm thinking of the traces of all the video artists that in years of study and work I have followed. Self brings my mind to the postcards of a very young Robert Cahen ... but that's another story. A history of signs and movements, which become living sculptures. Francesco Attolini stands as an artist of emotions, memories contained in many small portraits. Every gesture is worth the effort consuming, each languid glance of woman is a confession ... because we know that the work of art is always a confession.
SELF WORLD Russia is a mirror which reflects the artist himself. But at the same time he is by the opposite side of the mirror... that is faithful, neither overturns, nor twists... it's really you. Each movement of a woman is like a reflection of the artist who comes to you and asks Who are you? Being his reflection and at the same time being able to illuminate a space of possibilities that allows to answer this question.
The splendour of the video art of Francesco Attolini is precisely the use of video like a mirror ... and I do not speak of the phenomenon of video narcisses... always outdated ... That's how the works emerges, finding its magical point in video art...and that tells me "there are things that only the video art can tell" ... Francesco says, but it is told. Told by his visions with which we shall proceed in a synaesthetic manner -touch to see. Self World and other works of the artist make us understand that making a video work is different. Expression of concept through the video is another story + it needs content so that the message gets through.
SELF WORLD is the essence of life flowing, everyday is a short-circuit logic of all the people that we meet in life and leave some of them be in us.
SELF WORLD opens the door to a new aesthetics ... mild and simple... something that comes from macro cosmos of these women with their lipsticks, their movements, with their stories to micro cosmos.
SELF WORLD is an attitude towards art ... for the importance of details of life ... more important than we might think ... because the video art is like the greatness of a pinhole for how ridiculous it sounds.
