Izis Bidermanas & The Puzzle Missing Pieces Issue.

Does Every puzzle need all its pieces to fit in..or not?

I went today to the Izis Bidermanas exhibition @the MNAF, in Florence, sure that a lot of the pieces of my world, my life and myself were missing.
Restless. Nervous. Anxious.

Now, with the memory of a memorable afternoon with a magnificent friend I'm not so sure that I need all the pieces to fit into place.
Some pieces of the past don't belong to my puzzle any more. Some others have become essential.
I'll always be something incomplete, because my nature is.
I'll always be seeking peace but I won't really desire it. Ever.
I'll always be looking for something, for the true side of living, the real nature of the people I love. For a different world to live in.
I'll be expecting distances and absences and I'll demand the presence of those I love staying with.
Even if I don't have a perfect puzzle inside me, I'm oddly feeling complete.

When you look at something really really beautiful, something that reflects and rapresents what you think art is, you're able to look at your life in a different way.
In front of those pictures I was forced to be honest with myself and to accept that I've never wanted peace. That I love my past, I'm perfectly able to accept it and that I'm able to face my future as well.

I want my life to be like a perfect b&w photograph, with strong contrasts, harmony and the magic of things you don't deeply understand.
Izis Bidermanas and Paris des reves weren't the only works of art this afternoon... Thanks to a beautiful friend that always makes me feel at home. Who's really a Work of Art.

... Go Mommy, Go!

Genesis - Roman Holiday with Sebastião Salgado

Of course it's been raining for two days. 

Of course I was under the rain with no umbrella during the storm of last Saturday night, with my very pretty punk-ballerina-wedges (rest in peace, they died by drowning in a glorious Roman puddle). 

...in case you are still wondering why I can't manage a fashion blog.... I've never had "fashion" in me.

The great news is that I love rain. I love Autumn. I love Laduree macarons (and the limited edition leopard box bought with them is something absolutely kitsch and cool). And I love Rome.

Most of all I love Sebastião Salgado and his amazing pics...

Okay, the exhibition was crowded. And I am well known for hating human beings.

There's no philanthropy in me.

Furthermore it was full of happy noisy families showing off an army of crying/laughing/screaming children.. And I hate happy noisy families with screaming children.

But this whole hell disappeared in front af all those pics.

Probabily the best exhibition I've ever seen.

An invitation to discover the hidden part of the world, the most beautiful and pure, and to respect it.

Next Thursday...Izis Bidermanas..Stay Tuned!
