What cannot be expressed in words, the unspeakable, the extraordinary, in a word, the ineffable, has always aroused interest, for that charge of mystery that hides behind a surface vision. The physical and mental deformity declared in the bodies painted by Simona Bramati and Desiderio is the affirmation and revelation of a secret world that lives beyond pure appearance. This is the body's revenge, its existence, in spite of everything, despite social conventions. A conscious homage to the pain experience of "freaks", the marginalized by Diane Arbus.
Volume created on the occasion of the double solo show “Corpo ineffabile” by Simona Bramati and Desiderio, at the Gualtieri Museum, Talamello (PU) (28 September – 4 October 2008).
