"Through a Mirror, Darkly" pictures tormented by Giorgio Bormida you submerge in the deep, in deep time full of beauty and anxiety. As Dante's descent into hell that is at once familiar and distant. An underground Venice, a cry without witnesses, light and darkness, past and present, pietra e carne… As in the wetlands of New Orleans cemeteries with tombstones decomposing partially submerged, sangue essiccato e frangipani, how to give a goodbye kiss to a child embalmed, withered flowers and sandalwood, grotesque and beautiful together… An abduction of trapped energy, the silent scream, one who is unnoticed, notes… Wrapped in silence, reaching the shadows of our souls.

From the critical text “Come…” di Barbara Steele
