Francesco Guccini. Canter\u00f2 soltanto il tempo<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>

\u201cCanter\u00f2 soltanto il tempo\u201d (I will only sing of time) is a line taken from <\/span>Il tema<\/span><\/i>, a track on the album <\/span>L\u2019isola non trovata <\/span><\/i>(1970) in which the Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini gives voice to the common thread that runs through much of his poetry, an extremely coherent world where words and storytelling \u2013 whether in songs, stories, novels or even conversations \u2013 play a central role. Words seem to be the only pretext for giving meaning to the passing of time, to life that in the fleeting transience of the present can, inevitably, only be fully understood and completed with hindsight. The exhibition offers an intimate, although not private, glimpse in which Guccini\u2019s voice takes the visitor metaphorically by the hand and accompanies them through the rooms. It is a game that foregrounds his words, songs and voice, with its unmistakable grain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Various materials have been made available by the author, many of which have never been displayed before, helping create a constructed narrative, almost like a concept album, around memory, remembrance and time, understood as the flow of life. A series of photographs from Guccini\u2019s personal collection retrace some of the salient moments of his life and career. Each exhibition section has also been interpreted visually by artists, photographers and illustrators invited to provide their contribution.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, two new photographic productions on display have been inspired by Guccini\u2019s favourite themes and those he himself describes as \u201cfaded visions of ghosts and people\u201d.<\/span> With <\/span>Pavana e ricordi,<\/span><\/i> Paolo Simonazzi goes in search of glimpses of Guccini\u2019s sentimental geography. An atlas through images in which the places and landscapes of Pavana described in the songs on the <\/span>Radici <\/span><\/i>album and in several novels and stories are paired with objects and interior details that speak of an education rooted in popular culture, a love of literature, comics and vernacular dialects.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his work, on the other hand, Kai-Uwe Schulte-Bunert tries to give shape, however abstract, to time. Dismantling its mechanisms both metaphorically and physically, he presents it to us as a continuous fluctuation in an undefined space that the camera lens is capable of capturing only in a fragmentary and random way \u2013 almost as if to suggest the ways in which memory surfaces, when it focuses on a detail that helps us bring the faint visions that come to us from the past back into the present.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further illustrations<\/strong> on display are the work of Simona Costanzo, Arianna Lerussi, \u00a0Maurizio Mantovi, Veronica Ruffato, Silvano Scolari and Gianmario Taurisano.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
