The themes of cosmogony, the philosophy of birth, political philosophy, sociology and cosmology intersect in a work that is born performance and becomes video and photography thanks to the lens of the photographer Michela Zucchini.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this work, Penelope quotes the words of Eckart Tolle “You are the Universe, expressing itself as a human for a little while”.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is not only this: through the title, the work recalls the theories of the political philosopher Luigi Ferrajoli that the artist takes as a starting point for many of his reflections, with his work “For a Constitution of the Earth”. In addition, references to Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” are always present as in many other works by the artist.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In quest\u2019opera, Penelope sembra citare le parole di Eckart Tolle \u201cYou are the Universe, expressing itself as a human for a little while\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuttavia, non \u00e8 solo questo: attraverso il titolo, l\u2019opera richiama le teorie del filosofo politico Luigi Ferrajoli che l\u2019artista prende come punto di partenza di numerose sue riflessioni, con la sua opera \u201cPer una Costituzione della Terra\u201d. Inoltre, i richiami a \u201cPale Blue Dot\u201d di Carl Sagan sono sempre presenti come in molte altre opere dell\u2019artista.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The work reflects not only on the position of Humanity in the Cosmos, as Carl Sagan recalls, but also on the role and importance of women as creators of Humanity: the secret of life, the destiny of the Earth, is contained in women.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

L\u2019opera riflette non solo sulla posizione dell\u2019Umanit\u00e0 nel Cosmo, cos\u00ec come Carl Sagan ricorda, ma anche sul ruolo e l\u2019importanza della donna come creatrice dell\u2019Umanit\u00e0: nella donna \u00e8 racchiuso il segreto della vita, il destino della Terra.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A work that speaks of Humanity in the face of its greatest presence – and absence – in the Cosmos.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Un\u2019opera che parla dell\u2019Umanit\u00e0 di fronte alla sua pi\u00f9 grande presenza – e assenza – nel Cosmo.<\/span><\/p>\n
