Alessandro Gottardo. I made this image thinking about all the important things that happened during the year 1991. and taking example from some flemings artists and other Italians of the movement of “Realismo Magico” I put evident or hidden recalls in the whole image.
i thought to represent Freddy Mercury sitting on his couch. in his robe. to remember his death. while one of his cats plays with a bow that has the HIV symbol on it. the carpet below his feet has the logo of the world wide web, newborn in that year. behind Freddy we find the portrait of Nelson Mandela that remembers the end of apartheid, and two posters in pieces, one of the Soviet Union and the other of the former Yugoslavia, both to remember their dissolution. on Freddy’s coffee table there is a blown out candle that since the Renaissance symbolizes the transience of the human being. on the right, in the bookcase we find a tank next to the egg to represent religious wars.
The Gulf War also broke out in that year.
On the sofa there is also an apple core to represent the untimely death of Freddy.
Virginia Mori. A common day in 2091, when Nature, technology and Human habits will be completely interconnected.
