“In life lies our salvation; not only our own life, but the life of all that lives,” says Ginevra Bompiani, paraphrasing a verse by Hölderlin. These words become the title, the compass, and the warning for Francesca Foscarini’s latest artistic research.
A research that, by necessity and desire, unfolds entirely outdoors — and in the open — precisely where what saves us grows. There, where stones — the bones of the earth, the skeleton of the world, our own skeleton — become the archive of the forces that compose and decompose life.
It is around this enigmatic presence (absence) that the mapping of the artist’s journey takes shape, in the difficult, never comforting attempt to recover a lost biological memory: where, perhaps, having abandoned the defenses of rationality and stepped outside of time, we may draw closer to the inconceivable universe — and to ourselves, all of us who are alive — through dreaming.
