About this artwork
"Quid prodest strepitus oris muto corde?" Augustine wrote in his Confessions.
What is the use of shouting if the heart is silent?
Our contemporaneity gives us a very different image.
It is the heart that shouts, our self, our interiority, it is the deepest part of ourselves that suffocates, driven by the compulsive need to appear and show itself to the world, and which, to put it in the manner of Mario Perniola, withdraws in its shadow, just… like art does when trying to summarize its essence.
Something tries to talk to us, to evade the computer barriers to reach us immediately, but we no longer know how to listen.
And then the cut red thread falls inert, like a hand tired of reaching out to the other waiting to be grasped.

Marco Corridoni is a painter, draftsman, and sculptor based in Italy whose works have been featured in several solo exhibitions nationally. His artistic practice focuses on "human investigation". Through this overarching theme, he explores concepts relating to freedom, conscience, and the dark sides of the soul. Yet, Corridoni also portrays the "incredible beauty that it contains". His figurative compositions combine hyper-realistic drawings with other materials such as wood, metal, plaster, etc.
