Rita de Santis: “Prisoners of Words” exhibition
Via Angeli 62.
Rita
de Santis, poet and creator of installation art using recycled
material, is presenting her exhibition entitled “Prisoners of Words”
from 10th - 30th August.
This
exhibition, which combines artistic and social dimensions, deals
with the ambiguity of language, focusing on words which over time
have acquired additional meanings, so that far from setting us free,
they have made us into prisoners.
This
is an interactive exhibition, and visitors are welcome to take part
in discussions with the aim of restoring the original sense to the
words which have become compromised.
For
groups of more than ten, we would be grateful if you would make a
reservation by telephone on 34 88 23 95 34.

Vivere ad Apricale
L’avventura
scuote il tempo
non sottomesso
a leggi e si inerpica
per le vene
della tua vita
medioevale
fino al tetto
del tronco di cono
ove esplode
il destino del sole.
Solitario il ranuncolo
conta petali e lucciole.
Il mondo…lontano
un pianeta
da dimenticare.
