How many times have we thought about freeing our impulses? The Portuguese artist Ribeiro shows us our unconscious in a video made between three Italians to pay homage to his "New Surrealism" which can tell us a lot about ourselves in relation to the time we are living. Open embedded media in the browser Persuasive and mysterious voice of the Italian actor Maurizio Bianucci who has taken part in important and successful series such as Suburra, in numerous theatrical plays and RAI fictions that declaims the poem in the Italian version entitled "Profluvi" by the Sicilian poet Vincenzo Cali ', while the English one entitled "Flows" is declaimed by the journalist Annalina Grasso, who frames the works of the international artist, founder of the "New Surrealism Now" movement, with restless and alienating words, Santiago Ribeiro some shows us how we would probably be if we totally liberated our unconscious and our drives: naked and blind, not really free, but lost, euphoric, not happy. Santiago's art was, is and could still be a vision of the minds of each of us, especially in this historical moment, made up of lockdown, distance learning, physical distancing that generate anxiety and stress in us, fear for the future, distress. What could be inside our minds exhausted by restrictions and at the same time by the fear of contagion? A desire to get rid of the clothes of the citizen, of a civil man, Christian, rational, snubbing free will and follow only one's instinct, the dark side of oneself; confide. Living in a society as the Marquis De Sade imagined and hoped for, where there can be no punishments or trials for evil deeds, as man follows what Nature creates and destroys. However, the video implements what is called heterogenesis of ends, that is, through "the vision of what could be if", it leads us to aspire to something else and to become more and more aware of the contradiction between necessity and good and, finding true of the dignity and worth of us human beings, in order not to be either blind or naked and wander in perennial uncertainty, but by appealing to the impersonal that is present in each person to overcome the overcoming of our anxieties and fears. Art with the support of technology helps us to do it, even at a distance, showing us how similar we can be at this moment. Capturar.PNG
