My English pronunciation is very similar to my drawings… an efficient oral example of my work…almost an involuntary performance. Why? because hearing me talking in English you can recognize language structure: words, rhythm, punctuation but no meaning. It’s so insignificant and unclear that you must imagine your own answers. A very precise confusion…a space to feel and fill. A container with diffuse content. Going slower and closer is the best protocol to manage uncertainty ….never before the planet was more uncertain and slow: global parenthesis with no end in sight. Between thesis and parenthesis I always chose parenthesis or quarantine. Enjoying uncertainty helps to reject blind faith or fixed ideas. Marco Maggi
