Paradise
by Gian Marco Sanna

portfolio shortlisted call 'HARMONY. WITH RAGUSA FOTO FESTIVAL 2022', 2022

Earth is Heaven and Hell is not noticing it - Jorge Luis Borges How scary is silence? An incessant whistle in the ears that blocks thoughts and unveals memories of the origins, when the air was still and silence prevailed. Then the noise, the metamorphosis of man on Earth, from creation to ape, from ape to man, from man to Destroyer. Unable to appreciate the fruits of Mother Earth, the beginning of descent into the abyss, from having little to too much, from too much to excess. And like a wolf unable to feel pity for his prey, man consumes the planet thinking that he will die before he will be able to see the end of it. With the same selfishness that decided that the life of a fly is worth less than a man’s, we will continue to live feeling free, but always slaves of society and of consumerism nonetheless. We will return to stop at red lights without that no one crosses in front of us, and madly believe that the fun is linked only to excess. What leads the crowd to follow the "single" will be our downfall, not have the power to use the brain, hypnotized by one's alter ego hiding our "I", needing guidance, of a father, will lead people to no longer have worship freedom. Orienting people towards modernism and thus, they will be commanded while feeling free. ITA La Terra è il Paradiso l’Inferno è non accorgersene - Jorge Luis Borges Quanto fa paura il silenzio? Un incessante fischio nelle orecchie che blocca i pensieri e scopre il ricordo dell’origine, quando l’aria era ferma e il silenzio dominava. Poi il rumore, la metamorfosi dell’uomo sulla Terra, da essere creato a scimmia, da scimmia a uomo, da uomo a Distruttore. Incapace di rendersi conto dei frutti di madre Terra, l’inizio della discesa verso l’abisso, dal poco avere al troppo, dal troppo all’eccesso.E così come un lupo incapace di provare pietà per la propria preda, l’uomo consuma il pianeta pensando che morirà prima di vederne la fine. Con lo stesso egoismo per cui è stato deciso che la vita di una mosca vale meno di quella di un uomo, continueremo a vivere sentendoci liberi, ma sempre schiavi della società e del consumismo torneremo a fermarci ai semafori rossi senza che nessuno attraversi davanti a noi, e a credere follemente che il divertimento sia legato solo all’eccesso. Ciò che porta la massa a seguire il “singolo” sarà la rovina, non avere il potere di usare il cervello, ipnotizzati dal proprio alter ego nascondendo il nostro “io” ,avere bisogno di una guida, di un padre, porterà il popolo a non avere più libertà di culto e sarà orientato verso il modernismo e così, sarà comandato sentendosi libero.
